Gun stores see rush of business after Mass. AG plans to close loophole


“The gun industry doesn’t get to decide what’s compliant. We do.”



Every attempt to ban assault weapons results in nit picking the law to find a way around it. Remove this or that cosmetic feature and say, "See, it's now compliant with the law!"

The Massachusetts AG just called bullshit on the gun makers saying that it's the internal mechanism that decides if a gun is compliant or not. If it works like an assault weapon it IS an assault weapon.

So, yeah the gun nuts who so desperately need yet another gun to enhance their manhood ran out and flooded the gun stores but from now on Massachusetts will not sell new assault weapons.

Oh, and Tim Kaine has an f minus minus rating from the NRA. that's enough for me!
