MA AWB: The S has hit the F in Massachusetts

[bofh]

As of today, there is no such thing as an MA-compliant AR- or AK-style rifle. You can keep them if you legally bought them in the past, for now. Read the details at: TTAG | BREAKING: Massachusetts Attorney General Bans Sales of All New “Assault Weapons” As of Today.

The AG likely got a rush of Supreme Court-induced adrenaline to get this tyranny done now after they (SCOTUS) Link Removed against their assault weapons bans earlier this year. SCOTUS interprets that "shall not be infringed" means virtually anything a given state or jurisdiction says they mean by their inaction, while one of the states most-responsible for kicking off the Revolution that eventually codified those words into law says with its actions that the same words are wholly meaningless to them. And yet, one of the biggest reasons given to vote these days is how one side or the other will affect the SCOTUS for decades to come. How much better of an example that SCOTUS, government in general, and/or specific state governments aren't constrained by The Constitution at all could there possibly be?

James' little smirky, condescending offer for "help" at the end of that video belies his delusions that the same thing couldn't happen in TN, or anywhere else for that matter. The Constitution means nothing, and without The Constitution, this country is already in a state of lawlessness, only somehow TPTB have done such a good job of brainwashing the masses into believing any usurpation is legitimate as long as it has a rubber-stamp by SCOTUS. The exact same thing could happen here in Bama or TN by a freakin' Executive Order at this point, so unwilling are the oligarchs of the Supreme Court to stand guard over a single phrase or syllable of The Constitution, which is a conclusion I've been stating for years, not just because of this thousandth-and-something usurpation by MA tyrants.

Enjoy your New America, America. You voted for it.

More lunacy from MA Attorney General Maura Healey. The Link Removed that has shown up on Attorney General Healey’s website, detailing Link Removed:

Q: Are there examples or categories of weapons that are not assault weapons?

Yes. Many rifles, shotguns, and pistols are not assault weapons, and therefore are not “copies or duplicates” of enumerated assault weapons. For example, the following are not assault weapons under G.L. c. 140, § 121:

Any handgun on the current version of the state’s Approved Firearms Roster, available here links to PDF file;
Any .22 caliber rifle;
Any Ruger Mini 14 or substantially-similar model weapon;
Any of the hundreds of rifles and shotguns listed on this list links to PDF file —Appendix A to 18 U.S.C. § 922, as appearing on September 13, 1994;
Any weapon that is operated by manual bolt, pump, lever, or slide action;
Any weapon that is an antique, relic, or theatrical prop;
Any semiautomatic rifle that cannot accept a detachable magazine that holds more than five rounds of ammunition;
Any semiautomatic shotgun that cannot hold more than five rounds of ammunition in a fixed or detachable magazine.
This list is not exhaustive; it is meant for illustrative purposes only. Many other weapons are not assault weapons or “copies or duplicates” of assault weapons.

Q: Are any .22 caliber rifles affected by the Enforcement Notice?

No. However, a weapon that is manufactured as an Assault Weapon cannot be made legal by alterations that allow it to discharge .22-caliber ammunition.

Q: Does this Enforcement Notice change which semi-automatic pistols may be sold in Massachusetts?

No. The Enforcement Notice makes no change to the list of handguns, including semi-automatic pistols, approved for sale in Massachusetts. The most recent list (August 2016) is available here links to PDF file. The Massachusetts Assault Weapons Ban does prohibit the sale of five semi-automatic pistols, the INTRATEC TEC-9, TEC-DC9 and TEC-22; and the Action Arms Israeli Military Industries UZI and Galil. Only these weapons and copies or duplicates of these specific pistols are prohibited under the ban, and none appear on the approved list.

The MA AG is trying to walk back her previous unilateral gun ban by writing her own laws, which contradict each other and the existing MA AWB. The interesting part is that she is actually providing more ammunition for the lawsuit.
