Police are "allowed" any firearm sold in the USA or fielded by the military. While technically giving a machine gun to a poorly trained cop is a bad idea, there's no law against it.

​

Any police officer can buy any firearm they want. Technically it needs to be "for work" but many get them for personal reasons.

​

There's been a few cops arrested/fired for abusing this ability and re-selling those same firearms on the private market. Because, for example, a modern Glock pistol cannot be transferred to a buyer in the state of Massachusetts by a gun store (FFL holder). But, you can sell one in a private sale. Welcome to loopholesville, because police can buy all the glock pistols they want and then resell them that a tidy profit (due to the soft ban in this state, Glock pistols and other restricted firearms sell for extremely high markups on the secondary market).

Sounds like you're only thinking about the present not the future. As the demand for EVs increase landlords, workplaces etc will become more accommodating. Your building setup doesn't have to stay the same forever. I'm a landlord and installed a 240V outlet so my tenant could charge their EV faster. I got a rebate from the electric company and it's a tax write off so in the end it barely cost me anything. People probably said the same thing when we went from horses to cars without many roads. "Cars will never work, they'll get destroyed driving around." We built paved roads to accommodate cars, we will build infrastructure to accommodate EVs. Everyone doesn't need to own an EV right away, we'll get there eventually.

They broke the window? Or the window was broken? I know what I’d do if I came back to my unlocked cruiser and found the rifle missing.

They broke the window but I'll bet a whole US dollar the rifle wasn't locked into the secure mount.

​

Getting it out of the mount would have been difficult if it was locked, unless the whole mount itself was removed.

When i used to get them for an ex cop, he told me to ask for no ice. That trick gets you more coffee

I wouldn't know such a issue of future information but so far no reports on an ID.I checked the State Police Facebook page and this issue has not even been posted or commented on so far.

Freetown, Somerset Swansea and North Dartmouth

So sort of like digital rabbit ears for local channels.

I'm in the Berkshires ,an hour west of Springfield and an hour east of Albany and I don't know if digital rabbit ears go that far and I don't think Pittsfield has a TV station.

its also tax free, 99 cents here is really 1.06 and it depends on the area.

Are you asking how we would provide chargers for public parking on the side of streets? Because that solution already exists. You can mount L2 chargers right on utility poles. It’s fairly easy, since you have a direct line to 240V at whatever amperage you want to provide for the chargers. There has already been a trial in Melrose, in Seattle, in LA, and in Europe.

We already have the technology there, and the engineering challenges are trivial. It’s just a matter of public investment.

And if you’re instead asking how 7 EVs parked in a triple decker would charge right now, I would note that nobody is forcing anyone to buy a BEV right now. We’re at the early adoption phase, and building out charging networks like this is a goal of both federal and state governments including with funding provided from the bipartisan infrastructure law.

Yes it does!

I have a digital antenna. Recommend getting one for local broadcasts

Will the trooper be named?

Getting news is no problem online ,I really miss watching the Red Sox live though.

LOL that explains the quick language pivot to “patrol rifle”

You can mock me and downvote me if you want, but hear me out. They don’t! My point we already have an “assault weapons ban” in MA, but you can still buy a SCAR in MA, you can still by an AR15 in MA, you can still get large capacity mags as long as they were made before 1994 in MA (they’re only $40) It’s not a dismissive comment, im saying lawmakers legitimately do not understand. The laws do literally nothing!

Oh yeah, no argument there. While we have the technology to implement something like this pretty quickly, the legislature does not move as fast.

They don’t!

Moved back in with their parents while they try to find a short term rental with their s/o, which they cannot so far

The M4 Carbine just just a lighter weight shorter barrel M16 Same 223 5.6 mm round

The house is his, by right. All those who deny that claim are his foes

Realistically, it won't pass for months. My bet is it will take effect next year, if at all.

Interestingly, CT tried to pass a bill last year, but broadcasters opposed it and it never got passed. Apparently Congress has to approve the change as well.

CT 's bill would have been contingent on MA, NY, and RI also adopting AST.

Shh don't let facts get in the way of gun nuts pretending to be oppressed.

Yeah no worries. You can get pretty accurate content on the web via the local news affiliates
