Healey Suspends Enforcement of Long Gun Roster

Jeez, I just look at Mass.Gov and they plugged in the 5 or so rifles that are approved. ;) You think they could have separated the lists and labeled Handgun and Rifle to avoid looking for the needle in the haystack. But then the rifle list would look so small. :( And where's the maybe 2 shotguns that would be list approved?
 
No, she (Healey) didn’t. EOPSS (appears to have) added all rifles and shotguns not otherwise illegal to possess to the approved firearms roster.

EOPSS might have acted on their own, or maybe under direction from somewhere.

But the governor does not have the authority to modify the roster on her own.

EOPSS is an executive agency that's run by one of the governor's nominees, so while you're right about EOPSS having the authority and not her it's very likely a distinction without a difference.
 
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be “cured” against one’s will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.”

Where are you seeing that?
 
So.... glocks are on the approved firearm roster. So you can still buy glocks?
Here's the easy answer and it has not changed becasue of this new law:

It is and was always legal for you to buy Glocks. It also was not a crime for dealers to sell Glocks however it is a violation of REGULATION 940 CMR 16 for a dealer to sell a Glock. I'm pretty sure the maximum penalty is $10,000 per transaction and loss of MA license.

Any LTC class worth the price it charges must include a section on MA law and should also include mention of MA regulations.

I'm going to pick a nit here:

940 CMR 16 prevents dealers from selling Glocks only in a form that can expel a projectile via chemical ignition. A Glock frame cannot do that. For 940 CMR 16 to apply, it has to be a complete, assembled gun.

Anything on the approved roster can be sold or transferred as a frame.
 
We need to recall the law that says a statewide official can't be recalled, then recall her.

Can also be done through Citizen-Initated Constitutional Amendments. Massachusetts sets the lowest bar, in the Union requiring amendment supporters to obtain signatures equal to 3 percent of the votes cast in the last gubernatorial election.
