They should all stop selling to cops and state and fed agencies in MA.

Let govt squirm on the royal dictates from the tyrants.

They should also collectively defy the governor.

I would say march on the governor and remove the governor as well.

How can a ex-post facto STATE law do that??

Every MA officer that enforces this is a King Goerge redcoat.

There was a guy from the NRA on Howie Carr (not sure if people outside of New England pick him up, but he's fairly entertaining) on Friday who seemed cautiously optimistic that the legislature might reverse Healy's edict during the special session this weekend.

Surprise, it didn't happen. What's even more concerning is that Healy stated multiple times that those who have LEGALLY purchased semi-automatic rifles in the past 18 years were actually inadvertently breaking the law, and may be called to task ex post facto should she deem it the proper course of action.

It might be easy for people outside of MA to write this off -- "stupid Massachusetts, those people deserve it anyway, whatever." But be warned, Healy is angling to be Hillary's AG, and whether it's her or someone else, if Hillary is elected this WILL happen on a national level.

MASS. Pro-2nd Amendment supporters had a huge demonstration at the state capital, apparently their betters ignored them.

King George's redcoats didn't confiscate people's personal arms -- they were looking to capture and destroy large caches of equipment and weapons being collected by various committees.

IOW, Healy has outstripped King George by a country mile in terms of tyranny.

Is anyone suing this bastard? Either the government or him personally? Seems this is a clear-cut infringement of the 2nd Amendment...

Tyranny shows its ugly face in MA. To those in free states: buy all the “assault weapons”, mags and ammo you can afford, and do it right now. If you wait for Hitlery to win, you will have waited too long.

Yes, under the guise of "Common Sense" gun laws.

I bet it is rough being a gun dealer in Massachusetts.

You can bet the NRA and other Pro-Constitutional groups have their lawyers working on lawsuits as we speak.

My understanding is that NRA is going to take it to court.

Governor Baker has not backed Healy.

Legislators, both Democrat and RINO have challenged her

Well, and the heck with the second amendment. The law says what the law says. Unless there’s some clause specifically authorizing the AG to do this, she can wish all she wants but she can’t change the law.

I wonder... Fines for selling what that used prophylactic thinks are banned? What if one shop said go ahead, fine us, we’re selling. If it was just a per day fine they could probably make enough to cover it.

I remember a liberal named Mitt who was the governor of this state.

During his time, we got the first state with fag marriage. No big deal, no other states would follow, right?

and this same liberal governor gave us socialized medicine called romneycare. No big deal, no other states would follow, right?

Mitt is working hard to get the hildabeast elected so the whole country can be just like this schlitzhole.
