I wonder if reciprocity with states that don’t impose a “May Issue” standard for permits (if they even have permits) could be used as leverage to eliminate the odious “May Issue” requirement for Mass firearms ownership.

Because of the Supreme Court decision in Bruen, Massachusetts is now supposed to be "shall issue". How they implement it is another issue.

I know the decisions mean that the state is supposed to be “Shall Issue”. As you say though, it’s how (and more importantly WHEN) the state will make the change. I’m sure the process will be as onerous as Beacon Hill can contrive, but if they have to issue the license, that’s enough for now.
