Quote HistoryQuoted: Where is the NRA on this? I was told by someone in the know (last night) that NRA is backing GOAL and Comm2A as is SAF and NSSF, however they are working in the background, letting Comm2A (litigation) and GOAL (legislation/lobbying) lead the way. So you won't see NRA visible but they are offering support. |

PITTSFIELD >> Well over 100 gun rights advocates and supporters turned out Friday evening for a rally at Park Square, coming to protest state Attorney General Maura Healey's move to prohibit the sale of rifles she said violate the state's assault weapons ban.
Joining the protesters, most of whom appeared to be Berkshire County residents, was Jim Wallace, director of the Gun Owners Action League, whose organization promoted what was billed a "2nd Amendment Rally." Healey is "retroactively trying to turn people into criminals," Wallace said. The AG announced on July 20 that gun manufacturers were making slight changes to semi-automatic rifles that made them noncompliant with the state's 1998 assault weapons ban and ordered a halt to the sales. More here Real estimates put the number of protesters in the hundreds, not just 100. This was held in the western part of the state, where there are far fewer residents, but many are hunters/shooters. I was unable to go because of work. |

In the last 24 hours a new page has shown up on Attorney General Healey’s website, titled “Guns That Are Not Assault Weapons”.
Upon viewing the page there are many new questions, which make this untenable situation increasingly murky. This is disturbing considering that Healey has threatened gun owners not in compliance with a ten-year felony charge for transferring items that are legal to transfer according to Mass General Law (MGL). By her action she has put licensed gun owners and dealers in a tough spot, should they follow existing law as outlined by the MGL and recognized by the courts, or should they follow the enforcement notice and fear the threatened ten-year felony charge? GOAL's blog has some very interesting unintended consequences |

Well since 22lr rifles are not assault rifles why not just sell AR lowers with 22 uppers??
Seems like a good workaround to the law, and once you get it home do what you want with it  Free |

She specified "22" cal. as not being AW..223 is a "22" cal. The revisions are going to be in the dozens by the time this is challenged.

BOSTON — The state’s largest pro-gun group, currently embroiled in a battle with Attorney General Maura Healey over her recent interpretation of firearm laws, has made a not-so-subtle claim that Gov. Charlie Baker knew about Healey’s plan well in advance of her surprise July 20 announcement.

Questions for a friend of mine in MA:
Does this new AG decision only deal with post-ban guns? Can he have a pre-ban rifle/lower transferred to him? He is trying to purchase a preban AR and his local FFL told him that he wouldn't transfer it and that nobody in the area is touching them. Anyone know of an FFL in the Stow area who would do this transfer (assuming it's legal and verifiable preban of course). Thanks very much! |

Healey's "clarification" made things far more muddled than they already were. Some shops will, some don't want anything to do with them. I know several shops in my area that will. But I am in western MA. |

BOSTON — A month after Attorney General Maura Healey caught gun owners by surprise with a new interpretation of state firearms laws, citing the prevalence of what she described as illegal “copycat” assault weapons, questions remain as to how she arrived at the decision and whether Gov. Baker knew of the plan in advance.
Holden resident David Reinhart wanted to know more, so he filed a Freedom of Information Act request with Healey’s office, asking for documents he believed would show how Healey came to her conclusion. More here |

What a shit show! That dike is above the law. She withholds the information needed to contest her decision. And it's sounds like all the Massachusetts law makers are on her side or don't want to deal with it. If there ever was a display of tyranny this would be it. Civil disobedience is much needed.

Mass. AG Healey directed to revise response to ‘copycat’ weapon ban information request
BOSTON — A Holden resident, stonewalled last month by Attorney General Maura Healey’s office when she rejected his public records request for documents and records that may shed light on how Healey arrived at her “copycat” assault weapons ban decision, recently scored a victory in his appeal efforts. |

Today's GOAL email
Please Join Us Tomorrow – November 2, 2016!
Protest - Stand Out: 11:00 AM at the State House (front stairs) Hearing - Testify: 1:00 PM State House (Room 428) GOAL is asking all MA gun owners to join us in protest on the State House stairs to send a strong message to the Governor and his council that Barry-Smith should not be approved to be a judge because of his taking part in obfuscating FOIA requests and attacking civil rights. The MA Governor’s Council will be meeting to decide upon nomination of AG Healey’s staffer Christopher Barry-Smith tomorrow, November 2, 2016 at 1:00 PM at the State House in Room 428. Christopher Barry-Smith has a long history of working for MA attorney general’s who have successfully restricted our civil rights. Should he be nominated, we cannot expect any sort of fair trial for any Second Amendment issue that comes before him. Justice will not be blind, or balanced if he is a judge, for that reason, his nomination must be declined. Please join us in protest of his appointment on November 2nd, 11:00 AM at the State House! If you are planning to attend the protest, please consider testifying against the nomination of Barry-Smith at the Governor’s Council Hearing, which begins at 1:00 PM in Room 428. You must call ahead of time and sign up to testify. Please call George Cronin at the Governor’s Council Office 617-725-4015 x0 to sign up. If you've not already done so, please contact your Governor’s Council Member and urge them to decline the nomination of Christopher Barry-Smith. |

Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey on Tuesday asked a federal court to dismiss a lawsuit brought by four Massachusetts gun shops over her crackdown on "copycat" assault weapons.
The four shops' lawsuit alleged Healey's crackdown, first announced in July, was "unconstitutionally vague, invalid, and unenforceable." They were joined in the lawsuit by the National Shooting Sports Foundation, arguing that Healey was overstepping the bounds of her authority. More at link Fuck that traitorous whore. She needs more tar and feather. |

Anyone know if lowers/ rifles that were FA-10'd prior to the AG's "directive" are still good to bring back in to MA if they have been brought out of state and the state was notified/notified of an address change for my LTC(should be void now.)?
I have no plans to move back to MA in the next 5-7 years and I hope you all fighting the good fight come out of this with a victory, however I would like to know what your thoughts are on it should I be moving back even though If I end up back east, I'd like to be north of the border. |

The Gun Owners’ Action League announced today that, together with individual Massachusetts citizens and small businesses, it has filed suit to end Massachusetts’ unconstitutional bans that prevent law-abiding, responsible citizens from buying and keeping in their homes the most popular rifles in the country, as well as most standard capacity magazines.
The Gun Owners Action League is a named plaintiff in the suit and is joined by individual and business plaintiffs who have had their Second Amendment rights infringed by Massachusetts. More here |
