The MA Proposals

I thought it would be a good idea to start a new thread with this right up top, so as not to be missed within the other thread.

Speaking as someone formerly from there, I think they have lost their minds. These things are unbelievable and make the new laws in NY pale in comparison. There is just no explaining how targeting legal gun owners like this has any effect on crime and safety. It's insanity at its very worst, in the very birthplace of our nation. God help us.
