The gun storage laws of Massachusetts and other states have been enacted simply to hobble gun owners, inasmuch as the self-styled “social elite” feels threatened by folks who own firearms. In the final analysis, the owners tend to be self-empowered, while the “elites” want to empower an enormous, Marxist State - in which, naturally, their word is law.
That’s the whole story, plain and simple.
I know all about the lobstah laws in Massachusetts,too,including the butter part.
