Massachusetts Just Went Full Retard: Bans Sales of All New “Assault Weapons” As of Today

The best way to fight this BS is simply non-compliance. If just 10% of legitimate gun owners stood their ground and defied unjust laws, things would change. Can't lock up 10 million of us...

Actually, non-compliance is estimated from 85-95% in places like New York (SAFE Act), Connecticut (mandatory registration of 'assault' rifles) and Los Angeles (mandatory turn in of 'high-cap' magazines). I'm sure many will fail to comply with the new MA B.S. ruling too. But for all their refusal to comply, it has failed to stop these gun-grabbers from making it worse and worse. Instead, they keep taking it further and further.

I believe there is plenty of non-compliance in Oregon and Washington over SB941 and I-594, but again, what good is it doing? Both states are going to come after us even harder in 2017.

I wish non-compliance would make a bigger difference, problem is, it appears to me that non-compliance has done nothing to affect actual change for the better.

We all know what the solution is...

It all started once before in Massachusetts...

I think you mean "effect".

It just takes time, that's all. Passing laws that virtually everybody ignores, is not a cost-free proposition for the ruling class. Instead, it strikes at the very foundation of their "legitimacy".

No, I did mean 'affect':

"To affect something is to change or influence it, and an effect is something that happens due to a cause."

In my use, the non-compliance has done nothing to change or influence, thus my choice of word

If something had changed, we could have said that the effect of non-compliance is that Democrats have decided to drop all gun control attempts. We're still waiting for the effect.

As for the time required, I sure hope something happens sooner than later. It's just getting worse. I like that folks are non-compliant, but so far, it seems to have done no good.

 

[PaulB47]

But the words have other, less commonly used senses that can make them tricky. Effect does function as a verb when it bears the sense to bring about. For instance, it is the correct word in phrases such as effect change and effect solutions where these phrases mean to bring about change and to bring about solutions.

Okay, I'll quote myself and replace the word with another word for clarity:

I wish non-compliance would make a bigger difference, problem is, it appears to me that non-compliance has done nothing to affect influence actual change for the better.

As I noted above, in how I used it, affect = influence. The quote I took was directly from the same site that you reference.

That said, some grammarists would say that you can interchange them. That's fine, their decision didn't effect my choice...

Evidently the Massachusetts AG is getting push-back from some legislators.
