The Conference Committee has sent official language out - h.4885

[DJBrad]

There will be some crazy times not only in gun shops but in the classified section here and on Armslist, a lot of people will be selling/buying in the next couple days. It is like musical chairs, the music stops on 8/1, get what you can while you can and sell what you don't want while you can.

The end is near here.

It’s gonna look like this minus the GT….

 

[kalash]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you currently have a frame for an off-roster handgun, you can build it and register (whatever that means under the new law) after 8/1, since it's not an AWS. Right?

Do it and shoot it.

 

[mcshooter]

There's so many ambiguities, that will result in court cases.

Who's running them?

They deserve some cash to help keep the case afloat

 

[sig shooter]

FUDD: Who needs anything other than a shottie. Oh wait, why is my LGS have a sign on the door that says “Closed Permanently, Moved to NH”.

Whadda you mean I can’t get my new Bennelli I have been saving up for!?

pretty sure that NH shop isn't going to give a shit about MA laws.

 

[pro]

Is there an emergency preamble or not? If not, is there still a chance that it will be added after it was signed?

 

[Spartan65]

Every gun owner in MA right now

 

[DJBrad]

Of course not lol.


This is from 9/2020 and an idea of what panic buying will look like.

what would the emergency preamble do, exactly?

They do. I'm saving mine until it's needed.

 

[pro]

what would the emergency preamble do, exactly?

That would make the law effective immediately. If it is not there, then the law will kick in 90 days later. That's my understanding.

 

[Picton]

what would the emergency preamble do, exactly?

I think it would waive the 90-day transition period after 01 AUG. In other words, it would go fully into effect on the first.

 

[yanici]

I'm at the point regarding this new law where I say to self, "Self, who gives a fu**."

 

[Grendizer138]

pretty sure that NH shop isn't going to give a shit about MA laws.

NH shops couldn’t even agree on whether they can sell MA-compliant rifles to MA residents without shipping to an FFL before. Now? Forget it.

 

[42!]

And it's been signed
The clock is now ticking on 8/1

 

[Horatio Alger Jr]

I'm at the point regarding this new law where I say to self, "Self, who gives a fu**."

It is about the 16yr old kid that does not have 2A rights in his state anymore, not about us.

 

[sig shooter]

It is about the 16yr old kid that does not have 2A rights in his state anymore, not about us.

This. They want to kill off the second amendment for future generations and marginalize shooting sports/hunting. “Hey Kiddos, guns are icky”. “Animal meat is bad. Here, eat this insect and plant protein that will make your prostate shrink to the size of a rasin”.

 

[DJBrad]

 

[Laderbuilt]

I'd be in on this - question is startup costs and can we get enough towns to call us versus the existing ones that have been rumored to be handing out kickbacks.

Not going to lie, I am not a rich man but holy heck I’d put as much as I could towards doing this.

 

[Pyromancer]

Couldn't tell from all the pant shitting but

Gov. Healey signs new Mass. gun law, says it will ‘save lives'

Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey signed the Legislature’s deep overhaul of state firearms laws Thursday, approving new strategies for combating so-called ghost guns and expanding the law that allows a court to take guns away from someone considered a threat to themselves or others. The bill...

[Laderbuilt]

Do your relatives have a safe? Do you? If not, get one. Lock em up and don't give them the combo.

Just make sure it’s not a liberty safe. If it is hire someone to change the parts needed to make it secure.

 

[1911rnr]

That's cool and all, but new shooters will be locked out - so I wouldn't be so happy about it.

Where did it say I was happy about what happened? Have you donated any money to any 2a groups since this happened? FPC, GOA, GOAL, NAGR, SAF, etc., or do you just like to complain and sling BS?

 

[Horatio Alger Jr]

They created a bill that turned law-abiding, taxpaying citizens into felons claiming it will stop "gun-violence" criminal activity.

Are Democrat voters this retarded?

 

[ProGun]

Whatever on this BS law...I'm one of many at ZFG. But I do have sympathy for the dealers in the Commiewealth. I'd guess all but a handful will be put out of business. MA is truly a lost cause at this point.

 

[Whutmeworry]

No. They got what they wanted. They’re actually quite happy. Don’t make the mistake of thinking that they think like us. They don’t think like us at all.

 

[mcshooter]

Has anyone noticed a statement on local news yet?

Seems like they're holding mum

 

[not new guy]

Every gun owner in MA right now

Fixed it for you.

 

[AJK129]

Are Democrat voters this retarded?

Yes

 

[pro]

I am quite sure that it is too late for them to add an emergency preamble. So the law will not kick in for another 90 days. This basically means that frame transfers, ammo sales, etc, will all remain legal. Moreover, everything that is not an assault style weapon (under the upcoming definition), can still be bought for another 90 days, for example Beretta 1301 or A300. As these are not assault style, they don't have to be registered by Aug 1. So guys, don't shit your pants.
