NATICK Massachusetts gun dealers sold more than 2,000 military-style rifles Wednesday nearly one-quarter of the total sold last year after Attorney General Maura Healey moved to bar semiautomatic rifles that have been altered slightly to evade the states assault weapons ban.
The 2,251 assault rifles snapped up in a gun-buying frenzy represented a remarkable uptick from the 132 sold Tuesday and the 51 sold Monday, before Healey announced her ban. The numbers were first reported by Commonwealth Magazine.

Liberals truly ae retarded.
I would bet that a real percentage of the guns were sold to liberals.
That’s what we hoped in NY too but it never came. We are still waiting for sanity to return.
I would take that bet!!!!
There was a time when the catholic Church would instruct their followers on what they could read and see at the movies. They would “ban” a book such as “Peyton Place” or a movie such as the one in which Bridget Bardot made her debut because it was to explicit sexually.
The result of this was obvious. the book became a number 1 best seller and the movie broke box office records and made a star out of Bardot.
We see the same thing happening here when these weapons were banned in MA.
I bought mine years ago.
This woman is an idiot.
She will easily surpass King Barack Obama as the greatest gun salesman of all time.
Imagine this lard-butt Troll as president:
A lot of Massachusetts shooters will reflexively fill in the circle for the D on the ballot. Most people vote out of habit, without giving it any real thought. Most people don't weigh arguments and positions, they look for confirmation bias and vote their prejudices and preconceived opinions. Grandma couldn't join the same club as Henry Cabot Lodge, but the Kennedys were Catholic, therefore Republicans bad, Democrats good.
They aren't ideologically liberal, they are reflexively anti-Republican.
The whole thing sounds gay to me.
She looks like Jiminy Glick in that video.
If the weapons can not be “sold”, how about giving one away with a specially packaged -and priced- quantity of compatible ammo?
Does her edict perhaps miss this loophole?
Another 2-3 battalions of militia.

Then believe me, I will"
Maura Healey may just have stock in the company making those knock-off rifles and thought an increase in sales was needed. Obviously it worked.
Fixed it.
Even if the majority of the nation passes a constitutional amendment to ban something that NATURAL LAW and COMMON SENSE say otherwise, the people will find a way to do exactly that times ten. Now being illegal, behaviors associated with this illogical illegality will also abound, which will be another degree of other illegal activity. Such a bootlegging, speak-easy’s and rum-running. the justice system will be so clogged that it will become paralyzed so for other real serious crimes there will no law enforcement resources left to go after those infractions. The whole system implodes.
What happened with prohibition.
If Hillary takes the whitehouse you will see the rise of the American Militia.
Sounds like it may have been a good day for Armalite, but I suspect that the clueless reporter and editor(s) wouldn’t know an Armalite from a Colt from a AK-47. Etc.
Imagine this lard-butt Troll as president
No, please! I just ate breakfast!
If I were in a position to invest in companies, where my official actions and or words would drive my own personal profits ....... I’d do so “only” if I was a liberal socialist piece of shit democrat progressive hillary backing polidiot.......
