BREAKING!! Massachusetts banning all sales of "Semi-Auto's" as of July 21st...

Liberal-ish state.

We have many, many folks that would fight for freedom. Most people own guns, except the liberal fags.

Even our LEOs, most anyway, would side against tyranny. We have tons of well armed and trained vets too.

like NY. You have NYC that dictates what happens in the rest of the state due to it's population.

You look at county election map and most everyplace is red, except for NYC.

Fortunately, I don't care as much as they might...

Then again I've always preferred to swing the bat rather than have it on my shoulder and get called out on strikes.

I wonder how many AR-15's they'll sell today. Should break the one day record.....

Baseball bat vs guns? your gonna lose that one.....

^^^^^^^^^^
You can outlaw every known type of firearm. The only ones who will suffer will be responsible citizens. Criminals will have guns.

Why an I always getting banned !

Everyone I know is scrambling to get out of work and buy something. They are probably already sold to friends of the dealers, to be sold trough person-person transactions wich are still legal at 3 times the price tomorrow.

Because people like you won't do shit about it.

So what do you suggest people like me do?

I suppose this means anything with a weaver/picatinny rail that can accept common attachments. So, pretty much every modern gun there is.

According to the AG, I am currently committing a felony by owning an AR-15, but she has decided not to arrest me.

That is what the fuck she has just put out there.

Think about that one for a minute...

:stunned:

I am currently reading over the MA laws, I think this ban will only effect firearms mentioned by name, such as specifically the AR and AK, or rarer guns such as the TEC-9.

I will try to find the specific list.

Yea, that is exactly what she said.

This ruling should only apply to the guns listed below, a Ruger Mini-14 with a pistol grip should still be legal.

''Assault weapon'', shall have the same meaning as a semiautomatic assault weapon as defined in the federal Public Safety and Recreational Firearms Use Protection Act, 18 U.S.C. section 921(a)(30) as appearing in such section on September 13, 1994, and shall include, but not be limited to, any of the weapons, or copies or duplicates of the weapons, of any caliber, known as: (i) Avtomat Kalashnikov (AK) (all models); (ii) Action Arms Israeli Military Industries UZI and Galil; (iii) Beretta Ar70 (SC?70); (iv) Colt AR?15; (v) Fabrique National FN/FAL, FN/LAR and FNC; (vi) SWD M?10, M?11, M?11/9 and M?12; (vi) Steyr AUG; (vii) INTRATEC TEC?9, TEC?DC9 and TEC?22; and (viii) revolving cylinder shotguns, such as, or similar to, the Street Sweeper and Striker 12; provided, however, that the term assault weapon shall not include: (i) any of the weapons, or replicas or duplicates of such weapons, specified in appendix A to 18 U.S.C. section 922 as appearing in such appendix on September 13, 1994, as such weapons were manufactured on October 1, 1993; (ii) any weapon that is operated by manual bolt, pump, lever or slide action; (iii) any weapon that has been rendered permanently inoperable or otherwise rendered permanently unable to be designated a semiautomatic assault weapon; (iv) any weapon that was manufactured prior to the year 1899; (v) any weapon that is an antique or relic, theatrical prop or other weapon that is not capable of firing a projectile and which is not intended for use as a functional weapon and cannot be readily modified through a combination of available parts into an operable assault weapon; (vi) any semiautomatic rifle that cannot accept a detachable magazine that holds more than five rounds of ammunition; or (vii) any semiautomatic shotgun that cannot hold more than five rounds of ammunition in a fixed or detachable magazine.

Get the .458 SOCOM upper.

Just got an email from MFS(ma firearms school)

It states that today is the last day to buy a semi-auto rifle or shotgun in the state!!!


RUFKM!

What the F is this??

Also says any of these in your collection, will become prohibited as of today!!!

This was done for 100s of years. They were called local militias. When bubba clinton was president he had nearly all of them infiltrated by agent provocateurs and disbanded.
Former members are now on watch lists...

I think they are cashing in a bit trying to create a scare and sell a ton of guns that this does not apply to.

But it will be the last time you can buy a brand new AK or AR.

The AG said in the press release they won't go after current owners, but shit... she could change her mind tomorrow.

the Government also tried banning them on April 19th, 1775 in Lexington and Concord...

Idk buddy....

Correct, grandfathered in, it just new sales they are targeting. I live in Mass own some and know.

This is very much true. More moderate republicans or as I like to call them, Kennedy Democrats, inhabit the commonwealth than most realize.

As for the ban, pfft. I got mine. If people didn't see this coming they snooze they lose.

As per Mass. Gen. Laws Ann. ch. 140, § 121, here’s The Bay State’s definition of “assault weapon” [emphasis added].

“Assault weapon”, shall have the same meaning as a semiautomatic assault weapon as defined in the federal Public Safety and Recreational Firearms Use Protection Act, 18 U.S.C. section 921(a)(30) as appearing in such section on September 13, 1994, and shall include, but not be limited to, any of the weapons, or copies or duplicates of the weapons, of any caliber, known as: (i) Avtomat Kalashnikov (AK) (all models); (ii) Action Arms Israeli Military Industries UZI and Galil; (iii) Beretta Ar70 (SC-70); (iv) Colt AR-15; (v) Fabrique National FN/FAL, FN/LAR and FNC; (vi) SWD M-10, M-11, M-11/9 and M-12; (vi) Steyr AUG; (vii) INTRATEC TEC-9, TEC-DC9 and TEC-22; and (viii) revolving cylinder shotguns, such as, or similar to, the Street Sweeper and Striker 12; provided, however, that the term assault weapon shall not include: (i) any of the weapons, or replicas or duplicates of such weapons, specified in appendix A to 18 U.S.C. section 922 as appearing in such appendix on September 13, 1994, as such weapons were manufactured on October 1, 1993; (ii) any weapon that is operated by manual bolt, pump, lever or slide action; (iii) any weapon that has been rendered permanently inoperable or otherwise rendered permanently unable to be designated a semiautomatic assault weapon; (iv) any weapon that was manufactured prior to the year 1899; (v) any weapon that is an antique or relic, theatrical prop or other weapon that is not capable of firing a projectile and which is not intended for use as a functional weapon and cannot be readily modified through a combination of available parts into an operable assault weapon; (vi) any semiautomatic rifle that cannot accept a detachable magazine that holds more than five rounds of ammunition; or (vii) any semiautomatic shotgun that cannot hold more than five rounds of ammunition in a fixed or detachable magazine.

Fine line..

If you had one in the car and you were pulled over, they would take it until you could prove when it was purchased. Then I'm sure they would gladly give it back to you.....

Sounds like those chains are starting to chafe abit?
WHen the ROL isn't followed, then yes, you're at their mecry and whims on what is and isn't legal.

Your first reaction was the best choice.... MOVE to a free(er) State.
