Confiscation has begun in Massachusetts!

What happened was the Attorney General got together with the state product safety board and they came up with criteria for what they determined to be "safer" handguns. Each manufacturer is to submit so many samples of each gun type for "safety testing" - drop tests, etc. at a cost of around $5000.00 per gun. They also require guns to have such things as minimum poundage for trigger pulls, magazine disconnects, loaded indicators, etc. What is really curious is why the brand new MK3s and 22/45 pistols that were already in Mass and for sale in the stores were recalled by Ruger? Obviously they had to get them out of state for some reason.... A neighbor of mine has a relative working at the Ruger factory in NH, hopefully I can get the full story of what happened from him.
