If there's "no threat of prosecution" per the judge, buy whatever you want. f*** Healy.
He's referring to the "no prosecution before 07/20/2016" part of the suit - Count 2.

Healy will successfully ban every AR15 Ak etc. in the next 60 days. This will be the beginning of the end for gun ownership other than standard shotgun and revolver in Mass. that’s the goal of the moon bats there.
Forgone conclusion. The Judge was clueless about firearms and it was apparent he was anti. It means an appeal and push to higher court. Which would have occurred either way from either side.
I agree, but buy it from where?
Wherever you want. Out of state, online, FTF. Whatever your risk tolerance allows.
Note that the final comment states that the AR15 is not covered by the 2A. One of my original problems with this case is that the plaintiff threw in a 2A claim rather than limit the case specifically to the overreach and extra-legal enforcement action by the AG. I predicted that this was giving the court a "not covered by the 2A" claim to hang a decision on, and allow it to largely sidestep the "overreach" issue. Although there was some discussion of the AG's interpretation, the final summation by the court addresses the 2A issue ... one that should never have been in the plaintiff's filing in the first place.
Comm2A had very little input on this case. We were at a meeting with the NSSF (and others) shortly after the Healy ban, but we were not active participants in formulating case strategy.
Are you guys ready to stop following the rules now?
Count 2, yes. He said because she says no one will be prosecuted, and no one has been prosecuted, then no threat of prosecution exists.
Build it and they will come.....I agree, but buy it from where?
For dealers to sell ARs again at the risk of Healey's prosecution.What is the next step?
Shame on Judge Young. Justice Scalia is rolling over in his grave. Young (who is a very bright guy) deliberately misinterprets Heller. Heller specifically sets forth a test to determine whether a particular firearm is protected under the 2nd Amendment - whether it is in common use by members of the general public. The question is whether it is the type of firearm an ordinary citizen would have access to and use if he joined the local militia. That's why, under Scalia's analysis, fully automatic weapons, RPG's etc. would not be protected. However, an AR15 - which is owned and used by millions of Americans for home protection, sport, etc. - is precisely the type of gun that is protected. Young's assertion that if a gun is useful for military purposes it is not protected is complete poppycock. If Scalia were alive today he would eviscerate this opinion.
A small step would be for a dealer to sell stripped lowers pitting the existing precedent that a lower is not a firearm against the AGs conclusion that it is.For dealers to sell ARs again at the risk of Healey's prosecution.
Agreed. It would also encourage people to get into the hobby of AR building. Those dealers that are willing to sell, should be advertised and supported unanimously by MA gun owners.A small step would be for a dealer to sell stripped lowers pitting the existing precedent that a lower is not a firearm against the AGs conclusion that it is.
With FA10 registration next comes the $100 / day fine and knock on the door by Herr Healy’s SS.
