Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey announced Thursday the state will no longer tolerate the sale of semi-automatic “assault weapons,” citing an old law passed in 1998 that made them illegal.
Since there is no widely agreed-upon definition of what an “assault weapon” consists of, gun manufacturers have been able to get around the state bans by creating “state compliant” versions of firearms.
They modify certain elements of the gun, perhaps removing flash suppressors or telescoping stocks that some states have banned.
Some liberal states have tried to undermine gun rights the same way conservative states have sought to weaken abortion rights, a little at a time by adopting rules and regulations.
Massachusetts is one of those states and its attorney general is aggressively stepping up her game.
“Gun manufacturers have manufactured these weapons as legal versions of prohibited guns,” Healey said. “These weapons are illegal. They are copies or duplicates of banned weapons, and they cannot be bought or sold in Massachusetts.”
