New AWB Signed Into Law in Massachusetts

The Bay States’ already strict gun laws were made all the more stringent on Thursday when the governor signed sweeping new gun regulations into law, creating live fire requirements for new license holders, and banning most “assault-style firearms.”
A statewide registration system was also added among a broad range of other provisions.
Jim Wallace, the Executive Director of the Gun Owners Action League, told The Boston Herald that GOAL will challenge the law in court.
According to Gov. Maura Healey, An Act Modernizing Firearms Laws is meant to respond to the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen, which overturned state laws making it more difficult to obtain a firearms license, and as a reaction to the growing prevalence of so-called ghost guns.
As a response to Bruen, they tell the supreme court to sod off. They’ll do what they want to do.
And after similar laws in Maryland, Illinois and elsewhere, the supreme court is still running from the issue like scared little girls.

The courts, by design, have no enforcement power. It’s one of the built in checks and balances. The courts are typically tyrannical as well and don’t want an armed populace any more than the tyrants in the other branches. That being said, right is right, wrong is wrong, and the matter has already been arbitrated at the highest levels and as you said, they’re going to thumb their nose and do what they want. At some point, and in my opinion we are there, it is time to stop screwing around and going to court, which at the state level would likely be futile anyway.
Are there other, peaceful manners of redress? I don’t know. Obviously the legislature is gone tyrannical because that’s where this garbage came from and the educative is gleefully in on the ruse. To me, it looks like it now falls to the people, and no, I’ll vote even harderer in the future is not a solution, not while your rights are being trampled and there is no legal redress.
I think we all know what options remain, but as Solzhenitsyn put it, we didn’t love freedom enough.

Don’t live in a state that restricts any right. Do not vacation in them either.
They restrict one they will restrict all. Not sure I like living in the state I do, but I know of few better.
