It's not like the laws are written to be easily understood.I must have a reading comprehension problem...
True, but it's a distinction with little difference.EOPSS is not Healy's office.
This guy is in charge of EOPSS: Secretary Daniel Bennett
He was appointed by this guy: Baker for Governor
Been doing a slow burn on this for months. My bump stocks moved out of state, where I still do and will continue to possess them and FVCK YOU
True, but it's a distinction with little difference.
I must have a reading comprehension problem.. if they reclassified them as machine guns, and spelled out in the law that possession of one is not a valid reason for a green card to get issued...
You would think logic dictates that clearly if you already have a license to possess a machine gun and bumpstock are now machine guns, that you would win in court...
I guess its a good thing i didnt do my MA bumpfire tribute jan. 1 ,buy attaching a bumpstock to my M16, just to see what happens.
I sure hope this goes court, injunction should have been filed like with CA magazine confiscation..its has to be the lowest risk test case for someone with a MG license and a bumpstock.. but just like all gun control laws they were never ment to be enforced.
While its seems silly to go to court over something that effects so few people and will cost so much. It has to be done... the right of the minority is possible more important(or telling about our society) than the rights of the many.
Where do I sign up for the class action lawsuit against my own state legislators? This exposfacto slippery slope needs to be nipped in the bud
yeah.. with my luck lately, they'd hunt me down..
Gun owners will just ignore and go about their business.... not like Healey stopped private sales of ARs...
The letter's dated a month ago. Has anyone actually received one yet?
Do you have a cite for this? All I have seen is GOAL's repeating the state's letter asserting they're illegal for anyone to possess, and of course the state would never overstate their case.

“any device for a weapon that increases the rate of fire achievable with such weapon by using energy from the recoil of such weapon to generate a reciprocating action that facilitates repeated activation of the trigger.”
AARP has conducted a text book study on how its done. Sadly, gun owners have never really grasped this concept. I suppose there are dozens of reasons why.
