It's not MA's priorities but the priorities of people that are going to want to pay for a supreme court grade gun case with all the trimmings. It won't because nobody is going to pay for that, that's really my point. If there was a list of "things that are a huge problem for MA gun owners" that stupid FA-10 system, while annoying, would be dead last on the list.
Besides, the core problem (WRT "gun registration) really is the LTC system anyways. Even if the FA-10 system is gone tomorrow and all the records destroyed, if someone has an LTC in MA there's a really good chance the person with said license has a gun or guns at home, or at least the authorities are going to assume that by default.
ETA: I've witnessed this 2nd hand- My ex had this guy living in her house that had a warrant out on him. Cops came looking for him and first thing they did is ask if the guy had any access to her firearms (because she has an LTC in the system). She's never bought a gun in her life or has a single one to her name, but she has an
LTC and has maintained it for like a decade. Basically my point is the cops "just
assumed she had guns cuz ltc" and didn't bother to look up her registered
guns at all.
The other problem with viability of the suit is gun registration (particularly not the passive, weak system MA uses) while its obviously evil, doesn't, at least not on the front end, prevent you from buying a gun or actually obstruct your right. Legally speaking it might even be better to attack that on some other basis other than 2A.
