For nearly 18 years since the passage of the 1998 Gun Control Act firearm retailers, gun owners and state agencies have been operating under the same interpretation. Now, suddenly, without warning or any due process a single person with a clear political agenda decides to change the rules. All Massachusetts residents should be alarmed! GOAL is currently trying to decipher the enforcement letter, but with as much information that it contains, it is not very clear what it means. Statements such as the following make it very convoluted: “… a weapon is a Copy or Duplicate, for example, if the operating system and firing mechanism of the weapon are based on or otherwise substantially similar to one of the Enumerated Weapons.” Virtually every semi-automatic that utilizes a detachable magazine has the same operating system or firing mechanism, so what does this mean? The short answer is we simply don’t know. Our best advice to firearm retailers for now is to err on the side of caution. These new rules may cover a lot more than just what we might think. GOAL is working with people and groups around the State and the nation to clarify these new interpretations and decide the best course of action. One thing is certain that this new interpretation is purely a political stunt and has nothing to do with public safety or real law. Jim Wallace Executive Director

Any tips on either the AR (S&W M&P) or the AK (MAK-90)? The test to join the club is the 1st time I've shot a rifle in 30 years.

RUSSIAN WEAPON DESIGN IS SEVERELY BASIC, NO FRILLS. THEY THINK YOU'LL NOTICE WHEN IT GOES "CLICK" INSTEAD OF "BANG" :-) REALLY WEIRD WAS THE JAP NAMBU PISTOL, BOLT STAYS OPEN AFTER LAST SHOT BUT CLOSES WHEN YOU REMOVE THE MAG. WHISKY TANGO FOXTROT, OVER? THERE ARE EVEN MORE AFTERMARKET DO-DADS & GEGAWS FOR AR'S THAN FOR CORVETTES. NOT SO MANY FOR THE AK. THE AK IS LIKE THE GREASE GUN, AN UBER-RELIABLE BULLET SQUINTER.

The NRA will file an injunction on Monday morning and the fuss will be over by Tuesday morning when the appellate courts lift the ban. From there, it will sit in the court system for the next 4 years before being heard by the US Supreme Court. It will end up being as landmark a decision as Roe v. Wade, Miranda v. Arizona and Obergefell v. Hodges. Can you say "epic"?

It doesn't lock on an empty magazine but it allows you show clear easily. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/1371 ... r-ak-47-ak-74-steel-matte The Chinese MAK 90's are solid AK platform rifles. Some of the best ever imported into this country. Only bad thing about the MAK 90 is that it's a 90's ban era deal and you have to spend some $$$ and be mindful of 922r laws to convert them back to their original military configuration. Sad that you have to deal with that kind of law making up there.... I don't see things staying much better for us that live in the south as time passes. Will
