Yeah, they had a law outlawing so-called ‘assault rifles’, which such legislation had them defined by certain features.
(h)AG Maura Healey arbitrarily decided that rifles WITHOUT such features were ‘copy cats’, and with no legislative amendment to the existing law, or any new law being put through the legislative bodies, just UP AND DECLARED THEM ILLEGAL.
This is pure tyranny. And if such a thing was left to stand, she could decide that revolvers, bolt actions, break-open single shot rifles, pistols, or cap-guns were also ‘copy cat assault rifles’.
In fact, she could decide that bags of miniature marshmallows were ‘copy cat assault rifles’ and ban those too.

Even worse, those of us who already own “copy cat” “assault weapons” actually, somehow, some way, committed a felony, by accident, without us or law enforcement or the state realizing. Luckily, Healey is foregoing prosecution of such dangerous felons, at least for the present. In her great mercy, of course.
