Bang / Guns Title: Massachusetts Attorney General Issues ‘Directive’ To Gun Makers, Sellers: No More ‘Assault Weapons’ Massachusetts Attorney General Issues ‘Directive’ To Gun Makers, Sellers: No More ‘Assault Weapons’ 19 0 supreme Thomas Cooper/Getty Images by AWR Hawkins20 Jul 201648 SIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTER Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey (D) is issuing a “directive” to all gun makers and sellers that “assault weapons” are not to be sold in her state. Healey said she made the decision after “assault weapons” were recently used in high-profile attacks in Baton Rouge, Dallas, and Orlando, and prior to that in Newtown, Aurora, and San Bernardino. She did not tie any of these attacks to sales in her state, but she is ending the sales nonetheless. Writing in The Boston Globe, Healey noted that Massachusetts already has an “assault weapons” ban, but gun manufacturers and sellers have been circumventing it by making cosmetic changes to firearms, thereby rendering them “state compliant.” She accused the “gun industry” of finding a way to “exploit” Massachusetts’ law by selling AR-15s and/or AK-47s “without a flash suppressor or folding or telescoping stock, for example.” She described these as “small tweaks that do nothing to limit the lethalness of the weapon.” Ironically, this has been the very argument that has been used against an “assault weapons” ban from the start. The entire category of firearms labeled “assault weapons” rests not on certain mechanisms intrinsic to AR-15s or AK-47s but on cosmetic features that most anti-gun lawmakers do not even understand. Things like “flash suppressors,” flash hiders, thumb hole stocks, AR-15 fore grips, heat shields, folding stocks, telescoping stocks, etc. Healey rightly observes that none of these make the gun more or less lethal, yet these are the things Democrats seize upon to justify a ban on certain firearms. So gun manufacturers respond to such bans by leaving off flash hiders–which simply screw onto the end of the barrel like a nut onto a bolt anyway–or they leave off certain stocks, thereby making the gun more cumbersome but not changing its operation in any way. And Healey is upset. She says “10,000 assault weapons were sold [in Massachusetts] just last year” and she is going to put a stop to it.
First paragraph shows the probem. She thinks it is HER state. Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey (D) Where does she get the authority to do such an unconstitutional act? Like always blame the gun for bad political policies and psychotic people who will not abide by the laws anyway. So like all good progressive shits they punish the good because of the crazy people!

President Obama is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people. --Clint Eastwood "I am concerned for the security of our great nation; not so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within." -- General Douglas MacArthur #3. To: Stoner (#0) "Healey noted that Massachusetts already has an “assault weapons” ban" Bullshit. Massachusetts has a ban on "scary-looking accessories" for semi-auto rifles. She may have a problem banning the interstate sale of an entire class of arms that do not have a history of harm in her state.
#4. To: Justified (#1) "So like all good progressive shits they punish the good because of the crazy people!" Unless it's a Muslim terrorist. Then they say we shouldn't judge all Muslims because of the bad behavior of one.
#5. To: Stoner (#0) Maura Healey Shut your whore mouth. I risked being shot for 20 years and I never complained about people owning ANY KIND OF WEAPON. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح #6. To: All (#0) Any manufacturers that are in Massachusetts should pack up and move to a more gun friendly state, like Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia, etc. Si vis pacem, para bellum Those who beat their swords into plowshares will plow for those who don't Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God. if you look around, we have gone so far down the the rat hole, the almighty is going to have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah, if we don't have a judgement come down on us.
