Today, the Massachusetts state House of Representatives and Senate approved the conference committee report reconciling differences between the appropriations bills that contained gun control language banning bump fire stocks and trigger cranks. This piece of legislation, House Bill 4008, will now go to Governor Charlie Baker’s desk for approval. It is important that Governor Baker line item veto the gun measure out of the HB 4008. Please contact Governor Baker and urge him to line item veto the gun measure provision out of HB 4008! Click the “Take Action” button below to contact them.
Under this provision, a “Bump Stock” is defined as a device for a semiautomatic firearm that increases the rate of fire achievable with such firearm by using energy from the recoil of the firearm to generate a reciprocating action that facilitates repeated activation of the trigger. A “Trigger Crank” is defined as any device to be attached to a semi-automatic firearm that repeatedly activates the trigger of the firearm through the use of a lever or other part that is turned in a circular motion, but does not include any firearm initially designed and manufactured to fire through the use of a crank or lever.
The provision allows for the excessive punishment of life imprisonment, but with a minimum sentence of 18 months, for the mere possession of these accessories.
Currently, at the urging of Congress, ATF is reviewing whether its prior determinations regarding bump-fire stocks are correct. Any legislation in this area should wait for this review to be complete so an accurate assessment of the applicable federal law is available.
Again, please contact Governor Baker’s office and urge him to line item veto this provision. Stay tuned to www.nraila.org and your email inbox for further updates on this bill.
Baker’s brain’s are baked but this is headed to Court, an emotional reaction by people whose I.Q’s are in the low 80’s.
It is Anti-Constitutional .
Charlie will sign it.
He is the Peter Principle Personified.
Lol, sure he will.
Massachusetts politicians want to disarm all good Americans so that the IslamoNazi invaders (almost ALL of whom you can find practicing their high-powered firearms at the target range!)... can run wild with nobody able to defend themselves
this is the PLAN
this is not Stupidity. This is the Treasonous Plan, part of the DNC/SorozNazi destruction of America, sellout of our once-great country AND ALL OF OUR LIBERTIES to the Islamic invaders
The Mass Pols remember the reason for the revolution. They also remember what caused the fight in Lexington. They also remember that the second amendment had nothing to do with self defense or hunting.
I guess they are not as stupid as most of them look. //sarc
Colonists are rolling over in their graves.
Understood. Yes that is a big part of the problem in massasuckiness
Does MA also have a life sentence for possession of an FA gun?
I’ve never seen a bunch of low IQ mouth breathers as bad as the Mass House of Reps. They let the likes of Warren and our horrible AG drag them around by the short hairs.
Wow! fakeahaunches Warren too! I forgot about that stupid fraudess. What a fall Massachusetts has had from the Tea Party all the way down to Fakeahaunches & Co. wow!
Don't forget Terd Kennedy and Bonnie (Hotbottom) Fwank.
other part that is turned in a circular motion,
= = =
Easy mod to make it elliptical motion.
Elliptical is NOT circular.
Isn’t MA also where the first gun confiscations happened in the new America’s? They’ve had a head start up in that neck of the woods.
Don’t forget to add Congressman Studds to the sexual predator/Massachusetts politician list.
Make it a free gun zone state, Hollywood is done and we need intertainment
