The Shall Not Be Infringed part of the 2nd Amendment seems to elude these gun grabbers.
Even though this is a State's Rights issue, we need the Supreme Court to reissue an opinion regarding the clear meaning of the 2nd Amendment.

Accidental discharge? It discharged because someone pulled the trigger. More like reckless handling.
What’s the latest on Healey’s unilateral gun edicts? Is this part of those?
Yep. Accidental discharges occur due to a mechanical failure of the weapon. Negligent discharges occur due to improper handling. There is a significant difference between the two.
Their goal is to take guns from honest, non-violent citizens and leave them in the hands of violent criminals.
We can blame the anti-gunners all we want, but in the end, things like this all boil down to us, and our willingness to CONSENT to un-Consitutional gun laws, and the fact that we are perfectly ok handing our $$$ over to people who, in the end, could care less what the government does.
In an ideal world for her, all guns would be confiscated in MA.

Glock handguns don’t accidentally discharge.
That little flipper in the center of the trigger must be fully depressed or the firing pin cannot move.

Quick background, this very unique to Massachusetts mess was started by Attorney General Scott Harshbarger in 1997, a year before he ran for governor. One must wonder if the handgun sales regulations were enacted in order for Harshbarger to have some “doing something” talking points for his unsuccessful governor’s bid. Harshbarger’s regulations are in essence backdoor gun control, designed to reduce the amount of legal handgun sales in MA. During his tenure as A.G. he was never able to convince the legislature to enact his wish of an outright ban on handguns so he took it upon himself to do what he could and enacted these regulations under the guise of “consumer safety”. It should be noted that Harshbarger lost his bid for the corner office to Republican Paul Cellucci, many MA voters went to the polls in 1998 unhappy with Harshbarger’s efforts to restrict Second Amendment freedom.

Since Glocks are single action, I should think accidental discharges are quite rare.
“In Massachusetts, we rely on gun dealers to help ensure responsible gun ownership and use by following the law,” Healey said in a statement Monday.
!!!! you, Massachusetts.
Most recently a CA LEO sued Glock after he shot himself while cleaning one.
Even though the evidence showed it was clearly his fault, Glock settled out of court.
Certain guns might be on the list, but are still illegal to sell by a licensed dealer.
MA has another CMR (Code of Massachusetts Regulation) known as (940 CMR 16.00) – the Attorney General’s handgun sales regulations which are meant to be a “supplement” to the laws and regulations listed above. These regulations require that a handgun must meet three additional requirements in order to be legally transferred.
Child-safety features – 940 CMR 16.05(2), (4)
Load indicators and magazine safety disconnects for semi-automatic handguns – 940 CMR 16.05 (3), (4)
Tamper-resistant serial numbers 940 CMR 16.03
“Yep. Accidental discharges occur due to a mechanical failure of the weapon.”
When acted on by a human being. No pistol will “accidentally” fire on its own. It is an inanimate object and only operates or fails to operate properly, by interaction of a human being.
I must have slept through the process of amending the Constitution where we added “on the approved roster” to the verbiage of the 2nd Amendment. It must be there, right?
I would say it can’t be fired on its on because it cannot be loaded on its own.
Glocks are striker fired. Racking the slide loads a round and cocks the striker. Since it doesn’t have a decocker, the only way to uncock it is to remove the magazine, rack the slide to remove the loaded round in the chamber and then pull the trigger. You can’t remove the slide without pulling the trigger first, so some ND’s have happened when the operator forgot about the loaded round in the chamber.
