The Approved Firearms Roster is just one hurdle that a handgun has to jump in order to be sold in MA. The other is the AG’s “consumer protection” regulations. (940 CMR 16). The AGO asserts that Glocks don’t meet these regulations, so even though they’re on the roster dealers can’t sell them. So there is most definitely still a soft ban on most Glocks in place.

They make it sound like the security guard just had a gun tucked in his waistband instead of secured properly in a holster. The fact that he lost it and one of the nut's daughters tried to steal it is pretty disturbing.

In this instance it is a custom M4 built for Airport scenarios. Ranged scope/probably grips for ranged shooting and bullets designed to pierce plane windows.

Not sure if it has full auto but no one shoots carbines like that spray and pray style anyways. "Patrol" rifle just makes it sound like less of an oppressive death stick, as the whole assault rifle thing is just a shitty use of an adjective to sway opinions. For example AR-15 is a specific brand model like mountain dew code red not assault rifle 15 and half the articles that mention them are actually talking about different guns.

Education creates safer gun users and will lead to laws that actually create safer places.

Banning bump stocks then not getting cops in trouble who leave their guns unlocked accomplishes nothing.

Oh yeah just banning everyone you dont politically/ideologically agree with sounds great. Thats why reddit is an echo chamber of one political party mostly. How about debating ideas and if you dont want to do that just downvote. Censoring and banning is such a bad idea. If someone is being extremely toxic or threatening etc then sure.
