Many states, and the feds, have so many interlocking and vague laws that it is discretionary whether they haul you in at any given time.

Apparently the governor of MA has said that the AG is interpreting the law correctly. So all semiautos in MA are illegal now, if I read the edict correctly.

Coming soon to a state near you!

““Governor Baker supports the Commonwealth’s assault weapons ban, believes our comprehensive state gun laws work well in protecting the people of Massachusetts, and believes that the attorney general has the authority to enforce the law to crack down on the sale of guns that skirt the assault weapons ban,” said Billy Pitman, the governor’s press secretary.”

As usual, the law's words become 'flexible' under a Democrat.

Perhaps this is a "Living Law"?

Darned sneaky of those manufacturers to comply with the law.

Compliance with the law is the sneakiest, most illegal move a person can make.

I expect that the Fed AG will adopt the same interpretation, it’s so common sense!

A Democrat “Living Law.”

Like a cross between a slime mold and a hemorrhagic virus.
