After the usual "assault rifles" are "weapon of war" used by "mass murderers" anti-AR agitprop, Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey dropped this bombshell at The Boston Globe.
The Massachusetts assault weapons ban mirrors the federal ban Congress allowed to expire in 2004. It prohibits the sale of specific weapons like the Colt AR-15 and AK-47 and explicitly bans "copies or duplicates" of those weapons. But gun manufacturers have taken it upon themselves to define what a "copy" or "duplicate" weapon is. They market "state compliant" copycat versions of their assault weapons to Massachusetts buyers. They sell guns without a flash suppressor or folding or telescoping stock, for example, small tweaks that do nothing to limit the lethalness of the weapon.That will end now. On Wednesday, we are sending a directive to all gun manufacturers and dealers that makes clear that the sale of these copycat assault weapons is illegal in Massachusetts. With this directive, we will ensure we get the full protection intended when lawmakers enacted our assault weapons ban, not the watered-down version of those protections offered by gun manufacturers.

Going by what I'm reading here, this new "directive" immediately bans the sales of all new AR and AK-style style rifles in The Bay State. I've called several Massachusetts gun stores (e.g., Worcester’s Pullman Arms above) and yup, they're pulling all their modern sporting rifles off the shelves. Every. Single. One.

That's a very short association considering that Marx Wrote Das Kapital in the last half of the 1800s... especially if you consider that Red is the next color a language has. (All languages have words for black and white. If a third hue exists, it is red.
; Source)
Why on earth would you use it for conservative/freedom lovers/capitalists?
Because Red is associated with the Crucifixion? (Which is all about freedom.) Because it's associated with passion?
It seems rather stupid to throw away all its historic meaning for a political/economic philosophy a measly 150 years old.
You’re joking, right?
No, absolutely not. Knowledge of your rights is the key to being free. Why would the people of Massachusetts give up their 2nd Amendment rights without a fight?
Ya.... like that's going to happen in massychoosets. Get real.
“These morons think the AR stands for assault rifle rather than Armalite.”
It doesn’t matter if they did or not, they would try to ban them anyway.
“..Get real....”
I’m more real than you can imagine, friend.
And you’re right, it’s NOT going to happen. Because people are too pussified to fight back.
