The short-term end result is meaningless because the Masshole politicians will now classify stun-guns as hand guns, subject to the same rules, regulations, requirements, and permit discretion in this “may-carry” state, which means that the average law abiding citizens will not be able to carry a stun gun to protect themselves.

That seems a plausible response, but they will have to pass legislation to do it.
Some places, such as New York, have built considerable opposition to an existing knife ban, for example.
Passing more legislation to replace all of these bans with comparable licensing schemes will be difficult.
