Massachusetts: Attend the Rally Against Attorney General Healey’s Gun Ban

On Wednesday, Attorney General Healey overstepped her authority as Attorney General in an attempt to further restrict the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding gun owners in Massachusetts.  For the past 18 years firearm retailers have been operating under an interpretation of the law that has been supported by all state regulatory agencies; however, General Healey unilaterally decided that these retailers have been illegally selling firearms that are “copies or duplicates” of “assault weapons” which are prohibited for possession sale under Massachusetts law.  Attorney General Healey is creating a new definition outside of the statute that currently regulates so-called “assault weapons” in Massachusetts, and this new definition could lead to a total ban of all semi-automatic firearms in the state. 

Please show your support for the Second Amendment by attending a rally at the Massachusetts State House to protest General Healey’s decision to ban the sale of commonly owned semi-automatic firearms in Massachusetts.
