http://goal.org/fraud/FRAUD.htm“REGULATORY FRAUD”
Gun Owners’ Action League (GOAL) released a 38-page report today denouncing the Massachusetts Attorney General’s
regulations on handguns as “Regulatory Fraud.” The report is based on a review of public records from the Attorney General’s office by GOAL staff.
The report documents that beginning in 1995, former Attorney General Luther Scott Harshbarger created a secret “gun
group” within the Consumer Protection Agency to brainstorm a means to attack gun manufacturers. GOAL states that their
search of more than 24,000 pages failed to uncover any Massachusetts resident or group of persons that asked the Attorney General to create consumer product safety standards for handguns. There was no record of consumers being harmed by the current manufacturing standards for guns; and no substantiation that any manufacturer failed to live up to their warranty. We found no evidence that the Attorney General’s office could point to a single act of unfair and deceptive business practice concerning the manufacture of handguns. The records also showed that even after the public hearing was held, the Attorney General’s staff was unable to find corroborating data to support the regulations".
The full report is a longish read but well worth it for anyone who wants an insight on the lack of integrity and corrupt inner workings of the MA AG with regards to firearms ownership.

METHUEN -- People in Greater Lawrence who apply for a handgun license for the first time now need a letter from their doctor stating they are medically and psychologically fit.
To police, this is one more tool to help them decide who should be permitted to carry a gun. But to gun owner advocates, it is one more step designed to make it "virtually impossible" for people to obtain a permit to own and carry a handgun.
Police chiefs in Lawrence, Andover, North Andover and Methuen met months ago, at the request of Andover Police Chief Brian Pattullo, to make gun licensing rules uniform throughout the four communities.
