Videos tagged with Copycat Assault Weapons

Massachusetts Attorney General Mara Healey has announced a directive to manufacturers and retailers, effectively banning the sale of 'copycat assault weapons.' This action aims to close perceived loopholes in the existing assault weapon ban by prohibiting firearms that resemble banned models, including AR-15 and AK-47 platforms, if they possess features like telescoping stocks, bayonet lugs, or flash suppressors that were previously modified to comply with state law. The announcement suggests that semi-automatic rifles fitting this description are now illegal to sell in the state.
