"New Massachusetts Gun Law Revealed:"

NERF-free schools - Airguns, BB guns, paintball guns, air rifles and yes NERF guns may not be possessed on school property ($500 and a year in jail)

really?

- “Rat Rule” – Any staff or administrators who do not reports violation of the above law are criminals ($500 fine)

and the best one.. wtf!!

so anybody can claim that person.. "he/she saw it and didnt report it".. and the person is a criminal. nice!

Anyone know how NY and MA have settled on lucky number 7? I have yet to hear an explanation of why this is an improvement over 10, except that virtually no one makes 7 round mags so it's a royal PITA for us?

No grandfathering of larger mags, just like NY.

And no NERF at school. Because you could put an eye out.

MA has always had pretty bad gun laws... licensing requirements for pistols for example. I'm guessing this has a fair chance of passing. At least they aren't picking on "assault weapons".

LX1X good catch. I was on my phone and only had a minute. Title changed.

 

[ThisGuy918]

Mods can I get a mulligan and get the title of the thread changed?

You answered your own question.

In the gungrabber's mind: "PITA for gun owners" = "safety"

Like many other hard choices in life they use this,

Then follow it up afterwards with this,

So nobody can own any firearm at the moment since they don't sell 7rd mags. Lol

Precisely the improvement they're looking for.

SO everyone should run out and get .45acp's as they are "safe" with 7 round mags?

Yep. We're being punished for a criminals actions that we had nothing to do with. Just like every other crappy law ever made.

Yep. Pretty much.

What really pisses me of in those laws - is absence of logic. Even if we forget about rights and such for a second, it is still unclear what are they trying to solve, and how all that is even relevant.
It is clear that the solutions they trying to push through serve no purpose aside from them actually try to gain some popularity and political capital by exploring the recent tragedies.

 

[jrumann59]

I think higher courts are going to shoot that down and will be using 30 round mags.

Nice. Can rent only 1 gun, once every 30 days. How the f will they track that?

The 7 round thing: Wilson Combat immediately came out with a 7-rnd mag conversion kit. I love that company
