MAJOR 2A RULING OUT OF MASS

Chief Justice of the U.S. District Court in Massachusetts, Denise J. Casper, ruled last week that the state CAN effectively ban the sale of a lot of popular firearms in the state in the case of Granata V. Campbell.

Justice Casper asserts that this is not a BAN per say but merely imposes conditions for sale, i.e. magazine disconnectors being required, melting temp of component parts (no plastic guns?) and such like.  

Functionally the list is very similar to the the one in CA. where the state only lets you buy guns that are not known to be unsafe (though does allow individual police officers and police agencies to buy guns that are not on the list). 

An appeal is already being prepared.
