With respect to the ongoing Healey lawsuit that the Supreme Court (hopefully) will be able to hear in our lifetime, I had a question about The actual right to bear arms in MA.
I understand that a lawfully licensed person can keep a long gun, unloaded, in a box that is locked up.
I also understand that this long gun cannot come out of that box, off your property, unless you’re hunting.
I can carry a large capacity pre-ban pistol with hundreds of rounds of ammo and magazines of all sizes, all over my body ...but I can’t take a rifle out of its box on public property unless I’m hunting (oh wait, nope can’t hunt with rifles).
Can someone please explain to me how that issue was never brought to court as an absolute definition of infringement of the second amendment!?
