The 2024 gun law kept the old suitability standard nearly word for word. Both sides read the same Bruen footnote: one sees a permissible check on dangerous people, the other the kind of official judgment Bruen said typifies unconstitutional licensing.
Massachusetts bans secret recording of any conversation without every party's consent, in a hallway or anywhere else. The mayor is charged not with making the recording but with sending it to 14 people, a separate misdemeanor that requires proof he knew it was secret.
