Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey is investigating possible safety problems with guns manufactured by at least two companies.

The Boston Globe reports that Remington Arms Co. and Glock Inc. have filed lawsuits to fight Healey’s efforts. […]

Healey says Glock firearms are “prone to accidental discharge” and says in court papers she is concerned the company may have been warned about the problem and failed to act. …

I suggest Maura go take a midnight walk on the wild side in Baltimore so she can make up her mind. :0)

Take those dangerous Glocks away from the police IMMEDIATELY! It’s for the safety of the children! Any Massachusetts police officer is a walking time bomb! That Glock the cop is carrying could go off at any time!

Thousands of police and hundreds of thousands of citizens carry Glocks every day without accidentally setting them off.

By the police? I haven't heard that argument raised before. No wonder so many dogs and minority youths get shot. (/sarc for those who haven't had their coffee yet...)

No. Such. Thing.

Negligent discharge, maybe... But not accidental.

AG Healey has gone on a Quixote-esque crusade against guns over the past few weeks:

from weaponsman.com:

In Massachusetts, gun owners, would-be gun owners, and Federal licensees have been having a hard time getting any information about the constantly-changing gun ban that national socialist Attorney General Maura Healey (Heil Healey!) imposed as a stunt before heading to the DNC to, she expects, boost her political career.

Healey’s office will not answer questions by letter or email, because the last thing they want is to have a written document holding them to a single position. Instead, her minions will answer questions by telephone. But she will not permit callers to record the conversation; in Massachusetts, recording a conversation without the permission of both sides is a felony, and in this way, she prevents having to take responsibility for her anchorless position.

They also refer people to this page in which the AG’s office attempts to explain what a law means, when it means whatever the Red Queen says it does, no more and no less, at any given moment.

http://www.mass.gov/ago/public-safety/awbe.html

(It also includes a laundry list of Democrat politicians who support the ban, which includes, stop us if this shocks you, all of the “non-partisan” gun-control groups that say they’re only for “common-sense measures.” No, that didn’t shock us, either).

But Mass. gun owners noticed something funny about the page. It kept changing. For example, .22 rifles were included, then not; rifles have been through several iterations. (Current definition, which might have changed by the time you see it, is that any semi-auto centerfire rifle that can accept 6 or more rounds in a detachable or fixed magazine, is an “assault rifle” and is banned in the People’s Republic of Mass. (graphic omitted)

So the few hardy surviving gun owners in this hostile environment used the internet changelog technology of changedetection.com to make a page tracking Healey’s ever-evolving position.

https://www.changedetection.com/log/gov/mass/awbe_log.html

Unfortunately, the guy who set this page up wasn’t able to do it in time to catch the early iterations of the wording. However, there are 13 changes logged since the tracker went live on 25 July, and some of them are quite substantive. On 3 August, 192 words were added. On 5 August, almost 1600 words, 24% of the page. On 19 August, 1327 words added and 317 deleted. It’s been changed three times in the last five days — so far.

Is the instability of the guidance here a simple consequence of Heil Healey!’s ambition and corruption filtered through her and her staff’s equally simple incompetence? Or is it a deliberate attempt to undermine Heil Healey!’s enemies with fear, uncertainty or doubt?

Meanwhile, the AGO is doing little to nothing to pursue actual violent criminals. They’re her partners in the System; people who might vote for her opponent, they are her enemies. The distinction is everything to her and to hers.

She only needs to walk a mile down from the State House to see the wild side.

She is protected class elite. She has no earthly idea about danger and the need to protect one’s life.

I vote her as the first dead-meat protagonist in the Boston Zombie movie.

She is really feeling her oats now.

I don’t know why she would want to start this drumbeat against gun owners. Maybe she should recall that the thing that touched off the Revolution was a gun grab in Massachusetts.

She’s a moonbat’s moonbat. She is also trying to prosecute “Global Warming” deniers. She wants to be the next A.G. in Hillary’s White House and this is how she builds up her cred. Awful.

"Negligent discharge, maybe... But not accidental."

Roger that. In 99.9% of cases a modern handgun will not go off unless the trigger gets pulled. Negligent discharge generally happens in two situations: (1) person pulls trigger when they didn't intend to (or is so stupid they pull the trigger intentionally thinking the gun is unloaded. First rule of gun safety is that there is no such thing as an unloaded gun) or (2) person puts unholstered gun in pocket or bag and some extraneous object (like keys) gets in the trigger guard and pushes the trigger.

A VERY common way people screw up under scenario 1 above is they let their finger slide in the trigger guard while pulling the pistol from their holster and then accidentally pulling said trigger and shooting themselves in the foot. Serpa holsters are prone to this because of the placement of the button you have to push to release the gun from the holster.

"She is really feeling her oats now."

She is truly building her Resume to become the head Apparatchik in the Peoples Socialist Republik of Taxachuetts. As a former resident that escaped, I still follow the insanity that is the body politik their and she is someone to watch she is Phochantis Warren on Steroids and is ambitious.

Let's see if their is a push back Nov 8th ( I still think it is not out of the question that MA goes for Trump ) and will that slow her down...

She is auditioning for SCOTUS if Hillary wins. 1st and 2nd Amendments will be the first to go.
