A response to a law that seems to keep changing every few days.

[beevul]

People within the gun rights community have been paying attention to the AWB debacle in MA. A number of them have been noticing that the goalposts seem to keep moving around. So they responded, by adding the web page to a change logger website.


Here is the link to the log:

How is it that this can continue to evolve without the input of the state legislature?

When did the state of MA grant the AG that authority?

1. Remember, no one wants to take away our guns.

2. They're "applauding" her in Bansalot

But it's kinda hard to hear with only one hand clapping.

5. To be fair, Healy *does* has support from nearly 6% of the mayors in Massachusetts...

..as can be seen from the 30 August entry (scroll down), where 19 of them chimed in.

Trouble is, there are 351 cities and towns in Massachusetts:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_municipalities_in_Massachusetts

Based on the form of government, there are 296 towns and 55 cities in Massachusetts. Some municipalities, however, still refer to themselves as "towns" even though they have a city form of government.

6. Well, the rest of them probably aren't "Real Dems" anyway

Since any "Real Dem" would obviously demand more gun control, or so we've been frequently advised by our moral and ethical betters.

But, I'm sure that if she loses the next election for office, it will somehow all be the NRA's fault ... and ours of course.

7. She will undoubtedly run for governor in '18. This was 'virtue signalling' to help promote that run.

8. Probably right, maybe she and Kamala Harris are Sorority buddies?

They're both following the pattern of finding an issue, playing it up as a crisis for maximum publicity.

Then declaring that no one but they can fix this horrible problem.

9. An excellent plan

After all, when you solve a problem that doesn't exist, you won't tend to have a lot of competition.

11. friendly_iconoclast nailed it.

It really frightens me that Democrats are so completely oblivious to their role in the polarization that is afflicting our nation, and the damage that results. Sure, the far right needs almost no help in becoming ever more radicalized -- but the truth of the matter is that we've managed to toss petrol on the fire with our dishonesty and stupidity regarding gun violence.

I'm reminded of Jon Stewart's great line when he delivered his now-famous beat-down of the Crossfire buffoons: Stop, stop, stop, stop hurting America. The same line could honestly be delivered to The Controllers.......though needless to say, the words would fall on deaf ears.

Edited to correct Stewart quote

10. Once upon a time burning witches was popular in Massachusetts too.

12. Healy has joined with the Gov & Lt Gov (R) to oppose pot legalization. Once a prohi, always.

13. It seems Healy believes triangulation can work for her

14. I think the pro WOD position is indeed a signal to a strengthening GOP in Mass.
