Confiscation has begun in Massachusetts!

[Steve Lempitski]

I have an original Ruger .22 semiauto I bought used 20 years ago. My nephew absolutely loves it and constantly borrows it when his father, (a revolver only guy), takes him to the range. As nephew is turning 18 this year, the boys mother finally consented to my brother and I getting him a Ruger .22 semi-auto for Christmas. As I have the Class A carry pistol permit, I went to the local gun store today to buy it, only find that all Ruger MK2, and MK3 standard models as well as the 22/45 models in 22LR caliber are now illegal to sell in Massachusetts as they are not on the "approved handgun list" from the state attorney general and product safety offices - a call to Ruger customer service confirmed that the guns cant be sold in this state. I cant even buy one online as no FFL dealer can legally transfer it into the state. Keep in mind that Obamacare started based on the Massachusetts plan; dont be surprised when they try to invoke gun law change based on Massachusetts laws as well!
