A WIN FOR GUN OWNERS AGAINST MASSACHUSETTS AG HEALEY: Judge denies Healey’s motion to quash cops’ testimony in gun suit. “A federal judge has denied Attorney General Maura Healey’s motion to quash testimony from local police departments in a firearms lawsuit, a ruling an attorney for the gun retailers suing over her so-called copycat assault rifle ban praised. . . . The foundation and other gun retailers sued the attorney general over her 2016 enforcement notice expanding the state’s ban to guns that appear similar to prohibited weapons such as AR-15 rifles, but were designed without features that are used to define assault weapons in state law. Business owners argue the notice is unconstitutionally vague, violates the Second Amendment and deprives gun shops of property without due process.”

To Healey, those aren’t bugs — they’re features.
