11am update:
* effective immediately the "illegal assault weapons" since 1994 are now illegal. No buying, no selling. Dealers with existing stock must sell them out of state where they are"still" legal.

No legal way to make a gun compliant. She used an example of a flash hider and said that a gun without a flash hider (no features) is illegal. If a gun is "MA compliant" it's illegal.

From the attorney general of Massistan:

The Massachusetts assault weapons ban mirrors the federal ban Congress allowed to expire in 2004. It prohibits the sale of specific weapons like the Colt AR-15 and AK-47 and explicitly bans “copies or duplicates” of those weapons. But gun manufacturers have taken it upon themselves to define what a “copy” or “duplicate” weapon is. They market “state compliant” copycat versions of their assault weapons to Massachusetts buyers. They sell guns without a flash suppressor or folding or telescoping stock, for example, small tweaks that do nothing to limit the lethalness of the weapon.

That will end now. On Wednesday, we are sending a directive to all gun manufacturers and dealers that makes clear that the sale of these copycat assault weapons is illegal in Massachusetts. With this directive, we will ensure we get the full protection intended when lawmakers enacted our assault weapons ban, not the watered-down version of those protections offered by gun manufacturers.

The directive specifically outlines two tests to determine what constitutes a “copy” or “duplicate” of a prohibited weapon. If a gun’s operating system is essentially the same as that of a banned weapon, or if the gun has components that are interchangeable with those of a banned weapon, it’s a “copy” or “duplicate,” and it is illegal. Assault weapons prohibited under our laws cannot be altered in any way to make their sale or possession legal in Massachusetts...

 Then why did the law use these features as reason to ban them dumbfucks?


So a bolt action AR15 would be banned because it shares components with the Semi AR15?

And since banned semi AR15 use a gas/recoil system then all other semi auto rifles would also be banned?

Seems like these 2 would be enough to challenge the interpretation goes beyond the law that was originally passed.

 We passed a law that says no exotic sports cars on the road will be allowed or copies of said vehicles.  Well now we say copies include any car with same drive systems or cars that share interchangeable parts.  Your car uses 4 round rubber devices that allow your car to speed.  Yup its a copy + banned

So this would ban ANY DI or piston driven semi-auto weapon?

Because it's taken them twenty years to even get a small notion of how guns work and what makes them different.







They could've gotten one gun owner drunk in 1993, asked him what wording of the law would fuck him the most, and done a lot more damage.







But, lucky for us, the idiots backing gun laws are usually "the shoulder thing that goes up" level of retarded.

So, a state-compliant AR-15 is not defined as an assault weapon because its lacking features of an "assault weapon" but since it still acts like an "assault weapon" (however they think an assault weapon works) it therefore must finally be banned.

What a bunch of retards in command.

All they need to do is intimidate the gun shops into compliance.  It doesn't even matter if it is legal.  They've done the same thing with mail order ammunition.

You're being too narrow in your "essentially the same" reasoning.  They'll be calling it like this eventually: "if it has a firing pin instead of an external hammer...  if it has any sort of magazine other than a revolving cylinder...  if it uses a rifled barrel instead of a smooth bore...  if it uses cased ammo instead of a separate charge and ball..."

Tinfoil hat time:

May 24 the MA attorney general met with the white house to discuss gun control and the purpose of her meeting according to her speech (available on her website in .PDF) was to "share ideas and find solutions".

Then this literally comes out of nowhere less than 2 months later.

How about pre-1994 AR-15's?
Link Posted: 7/20/2016 8:43:50 AM EDT
[#33]
So they passed a law and were upset that people complied with their law, because they didn't really want compliance. They wanted total prohibition, which is unconstitutional.

MA is proving that the "common sense gun laws that respect 2A rights" argument that the left has been using is a total lie.

Not that we didn't know this already.
