Can you force their hand with massive disobedience? Everyone go out and start selling and buying ARs. they can't arrest or fine tens of thousands of people, and if they do maybe that would be the cause to bring it to SCOTUS
This has always been the case: virtue signal -> pass law -> don't "enforce it" -> no challenge / no lawsuits because of non-enforcement -> people become scared to own anything. In parallel, if the LTC application becomes too expensive, onerous, and slow, many will forego applying. The state has allocated no additional money, time, or resources towards Chapter 135. Police Departments haven't received additional money for education or enforcement. And the people that get arrested for violent crimes with assault weapon add-ons, for example, typically have gun related charges dropped in favor of a plea deal - and they didn't have a LTC to begin with.
It's not and never has been in the state's interest to identify and prosecute lawful LTC holders for "assault weapons" charges, or something of that nature. That's the opinion I've come to after gathering as much data as possible. The state's best tool is making you think that they are coming for you because your rifle has a pistol grip.

Yes, I saw that but someone is going to have to request them each time. Jim, you will get them automatically, please just post them since that seems to be beyond MA state gov.
