For those who don’t know, Springfield is a third world ^%$hole and has been for decades.

Most of MA infringements are unconstitutional.

I wish the Supreme Court had been more unequivocal.

There are still lots of communist states infringing on the rights of their citizens.

you do not need the GOVERNMENTS PERMISSION to exercise your rights....

Unless you have been convicted of a crime or declared mentally incompetent of exercising your rights.. you don’t need anyone’s permission to exercise them... that’s the entire point of a right.. it flows from YOU, not from anyone or anything else... it is YOURS.

I spent time on the grand jury in Springfield. I can tell you that all of the bad guys carry guns. All of them.

These commie bastards are hell bent on disarming us. It’s ironically shameful that in the birthplace of liberty, it has been taken hostage by these jerkwads. My family heritage is from Dedham Massachusetts and they built the first wood framed house in America. Some might be familiar with the Fairbanks house. They had tunnels leading out from the house to escape the Indian attacks. Not much has changed here in the Divided States of Amerika.

In Massachusetts, we have strong gun laws that save (criminals) lives.

There, fixed it.

“In Massachusetts, we have strong gun laws that save lives, and our license-to-carry statute has been a critical component to ensure public safety,” Healey said in her clarification to police.

Because, Attorney General Healey, criminals always heed concealed carry laws and issuing more concealed carry licenses will lead to more criminals with guns?

I wonder why those strong gun laws don’t work in Chicago. Or Philadelphia. Or New York. Or, or, or.

...found its decades-old practice of routinely restricting — or even denying — licenses to carry firearms was suddenly unconstitutional.

Suddenly? Wrong. It's always been unconstitutional. If they enforced the Constitution as aggressively as they enforce pronouns...

“The concern among lawmakers is that Bruen will chip away at Massachusetts’ gun laws”

the truth is 180 off that

The concern among THE PEOPLE is that Bruen will FINALLY DEMOLISH the chip-away that Massachusetts’ UNCONSTITUTIONAL gun laws have foisted on THE PEOPLE

there. Much better now.

The concern among lawmakers is that Bruen will chip away at Massachusetts’ gun laws, considered among the toughest in the nation, that have been on the books for decades and longer in some instances. The first law giving the police chief to authority to grant or deny a license to carry dates back to 1906, for example.

Wow, that's a long time.

Constitution was written even longer ago. Let's stick with it.

At least, from what I’ve read, MA is not defying SCOTUS by passing new requirements for concealed carry like NY is.

No, it was always unconstitutional but other Supreme Courts had ignored the Constitution or just made up their own rules.

“With the new changes from the Supreme Court decision, that’s all gone,”

Again, the Supreme Court didn't change the Constitution, they only clarified what is says.

Yes, they were apparently enjoying their role in totalitarian government.
