In MA
I thought they had all the gun control already but apparently they want more:
While H.4278 has been significantly improved in many areas, perhaps the bill’s most egregious provision, which gives issuing authorities discretion to deny firearm identification cards, remains in the current version of the House-passed bill. This discretionary provision has been somewhat limited compared to prior versions to require that the issuing authority can show “reliable and credible information that the applicant or card holder has exhibited or engaged in behavior that suggests the applicant or card holder could potentially create a risk to public safety if issued a card; or (ii) existing factors that suggest that the applicant or card holder could potentially create a risk to public safety if issued a card.”

Of course, the act of applying for a permit will be considered as “behavior that suggests the applicant or card holder could potentially create a risk to public safety”. Because as we all know, only homicidal maniacs would want to own a gun.

Yeah, like liberal judges won’t give the issuing authorities a TON of wiggle room there.

Its just that the previous laws were “reasonable” enough.

Because we all know that homicidal maniacs will dutifully apply for a permit before getting a gun to commit murder.
Further; we all know that, once denied a permit, the homicidal maniac will never carry a gun, because of course all homicidal maniacs are totally law-abiding.

How could the state of Boston, Lexington, and Concord degenerate so far?
Lay down your weapons,
and you shall hear,
of a once great state,
now a state of fear.
The 6th of July in ’76?
Hardly a man by its Spirit sticks,
They do not recall that day and year,
There in the state of Paul Revere.

Catch-22.
