Those nice libtards in the Bay State will be a lot safer after they take the weapons of war used by mass murderers away from law-abiding citizens.

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.

Ignore it, and buy them out of state. Then sell them and buy more.
I remember when our ancestors obeyed a gun control order... I think it was back on April 19, 1775...
In Massachusetts.
These morons think the AR stands for assault rifle rather than Armalite.
It’s the People’s Republic of Taxachusetts. It like the story of the snake hitching a ride across the river.
Does the Mass AG have the authority t o enact statute law? It should be challenged in the courts.
The Mass governor is Republican. He should stop this.
First: Can she just do this?
Second: Is this based on a law signed by Myth Romney?
Americans need to move out of communist states to free states while we still have some.
So the AG is the congress and the governor now?
Is that how that werks?
In mass? Probably be upheld. Then on to scotus. Upheld for the greater good and for the chillrens.
It’s what fascists do.
Hitlery would make this AG look like an amateur.
Surely some federal judge will throw this out because it violates a woman’s right to choose...
Massholes are the test market for future federal power grabs. For example, Romneycare to Obamacare.
There is no legal authority for her to make this “law”. She does not have that power...she should be impeached and put in prison for treason.
Seriously, it’s time for a couple thousand Patriots to stage a “Go F*** Yourself” march in front of the AG’s office, and every POS politician that signed on to it.
Loud, obnoxious, and armed.
LOL! I think there’s a “d” behind her name. So, yes, they think they can dictate laws whenever they feel like it.
