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.
