If you think the left isn’t going to try everything in their power to have gun control, think again:
Gun Stores and Manufacturers were blindsided by the MASS Attorney General’s move! How could one person decide such an important gun ban like this and announce it in an opinion piece without consulting with the gun industry? The left has been trying their best to go around the gun industry to do things that will ban certain weapons. They forget that it’s the people’s voice and the Second Amendment that will keep us armed. This one woman should be tossed out of office! As stated below, this was a political stunt with many ramifications and hopefully it’s going to be political suicide:
Jim Wallace, executive director of the Gun Owners Action League, the state affiliate of the National Rifle Association, said his office was flooded with calls from gun store owners who were blindsided by Healey’s ban, which she announced in an opinion piece published in Wednesday’s Globe.
“It’s a political stunt,” Wallace said. “Unfortunately, it’s a political stunt with a lot of ramifications that we’re trying to figure out and trying [to] work through.”
He noted the directive was crafted without input from gun dealers, owners, or manufacturers.
“We’ve understood the rules for almost 20 years now,” he said, “and now we have one person who has come in, unilaterally, and said those are not the rules anymore.”
Gun buyers raced to snap up military-style weapons on Wednesday as Attorney General Maura Healey moved to bar the sale of rifles that have been altered slightly to evade the state’s assault weapon ban.
“Because of this, we’re extremely busy,” said a sales associate at GFA ArmsTec, a gun shop in Natick, who added that she had to hang up to handle the crush of customers rushing to buy the assault rifles banned under Healey’s order.
Mass Firearms School in Holliston went so far as to extend its hours to 11:59 p.m. to accommodate gun enthusiasts who were anxious to make a final purchase.
“Today is your LAST DAY to purchase a semi-automatic rifle in Massachusetts!” the store wrote in an e-mail blast to its customers.
Next week at the Democratic convention, expect people to swear up and down that no one is coming for your guns and that no one is trying to repeal the Second Amendment. That will be a half truth.
They don’t even need to repeal the Second Amendment. All they have to do is bury it in new fees and regulations that will make it near impossible for average Americans to buy guns.
Massachusetts is just the beginning.
