Be glad you don't live in Massachussets

Be glad you live in TN...and not Massachussets....

Guns that you cannot buy in Massachusetts

[Luckyforward]

Wow . . . another good reason to stay in the South!

[Hotshot]

Mitt Romney signed a black rifle ban too. Remember this if this RINO runs for prez again. He's bad news for the RKBA.

[LagerHead]

Mitt's also responsible for universal health care in MA, which has overrun its estimated budget by somewhere between 9 and 11 times. Seems like he's a bad fiscal choice too. So, how exactly is he a good choice?

I lived in CT, before I moved to TN, 2 years ago... use to have a yearly membership to the Smith & Wesson range ( 30 min) ride. They would always want to try out my 1911's .. seeing there laws where so stupid.... I would not want to pay the lawsuit in both states... CT or Mass if some one broke into your home or robbed you on the st.. You are getting sued for sure.

[Guest Muttling]

Ridiculous law. Does anyone know if the law prohibits ownership of those weapons in Mass.? Can their residents purchase them out of state and own them?

[trblmkr13]

The Gun stores must be very small in MA it seems they ban several of the major brands

I really wish the firearms industry would band together and refuse to do business with states that have laws like this. Whatever you allow your citizens to purchase are the only arms to be sold to police or any state/city government agency.

+1 Unfortunately, business is business and it's hard for them to walk away from the volume of sales they get from police departments.

The antis would just love this. Then the government could get in the business of making guns as well as loaning money and making cars. That could only end well.

Can you imagine what a hunk of junk they would make if that was even possible.

Most of the lib states are in such bad shape finically and will continue to be, that I find it highly unlikely that they would do go into the gun business. And unless they sold to other states (you and me) they couldn't afford to do it anyway. None of us would buy them and their price point would be huge when you consider the low number of units to be sold to their state government agencies and the cost of tooling up for such a huge job. It would be a giant negative return for the state pushing them farther down the road to bankruptcy.

This is all fantasy anyway, but I would take that bet, and still be happy if they started to build guns for their state. They could never compete with the free market and the cost would be a constant thorn in their side. Love it.

That crude site is hopelessly out of date and erroneous (if it were ever accurate to begin with).

Here's MA approved firearm listing current as of 12/09, straight from MA state website:

http://www.mass.gov/Eeops/docs/chsb/firearms/approved_firearms_roster.pdf

This PDF linked at:

http://www.mass.gov/?pageID=eopssubtopic&L=4&L0=Home&L1=Firearms+Registration+%26+Laws&L2=Firearms+Support+Services&L3=Approved+Weapons+Rosters&sid=Eeops

So I assume it is accurate; at least more accurate than the one from that gun shop.

First thing to catch my eye on your link were that it said all Kahr's were banned, which are made in MA! Actually, most are all approved, but looks like not all.

One noticeable absence, though: no Springfield products at all, though Glocks are okay. That's really odd.

Certainly, the state is restrictive, and really sucks firearms wise, but you might as well have the real dope on it.

I have read here and there that some companies simply refuse to submit their guns to MA for testing, due to fees, red tape, and perhaps just general principles, even though their weapons would pass, but I have no evidence to support that; although that's becoming more prevalent with makers refusing to sell in CA.

Good info OhShoot.

aside from the gun reasons to not live there, it gets cold as all heck there and snows a lot. No reason to even consider living there.

Kind of ironic how the breadbasket of freedom is not so much that anymore.

[Guest Oaklands]

I couldn't live there w/out wanting to pop all the libs in the chops when they started their political conversations. I'll leave it at that, don't want to get started on one of my rants.

What does them being made in Ma have to do with them being legal for Ma residents to own?

[greenego]

Everyone should live above the Mason Dixon Line for at least 6 months. Then you would really realize how good we had it in the south.

[Guest 1817ak47]

so is it illegal to poses those banned guns???? or just illegal for ffl's to sell them to MA resident???? sorry if I missed something

[Superman]

Well if you buy it out of state it would have to be transferred to you through a MA FFL, so my guess would be you couldn't get an FFL in MA to transfer an un-approved gun to you.
