"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."
Many states, and the feds, have so many interlocking and vague laws that it is discretionary whether they haul you in at any given time.
Apparently the governor of MA has said that the AG is interpreting the law correctly. So all semiautos in MA are illegal now, if I read the edict correctly.
Coming soon to a state near you!
““Governor Baker supports the Commonwealth’s assault weapons ban, believes our comprehensive state gun laws work well in protecting the people of Massachusetts, and believes that the attorney general has the authority to enforce the law to crack down on the sale of guns that skirt the assault weapons ban,” said Billy Pitman, the governor’s press secretary.”
Perhaps this is a "Living Law"?
No, your comment works here too.
Compliance with the law is the sneakiest, most illegal move a person can make.
“As usual, the law’s words become ‘flexible’ under a Democrat.
Perhaps this is a “Living Law”? “
I expect that the Fed AG will adopt the same interpretation, it’s so common sense!

A Democrat “Living Law.”
Like a cross between a slime mold and a hemorrhagic virus.
