Yes. You can have a LTC or even a machine gun license and the 10 round magazine limit applies.

Don't trust whatever the safety person told you. The AG will absolutely prosecute you for a felony in MA for having a 11+ rd magazine manufactured after 1994.

You can't buy normal guns there. You can't buy an AR15. You have to buy an M16 equivalent semi-auto lower manufactured prior to 1994 and build it out from there to avoid the state AWB.

Except you can't own a magazine more than 10 rounds manufactured after 1994, and tons of other restrictions.

The fact that MA voters want to prosecute and imprison their neighbors for exercising a constitutional right is enough for me not to want to live anywhere near those people.

It makes many grow to hate the other states (mainly MA since ME and VT aren't as Nazi anti gun) because they literally want to put you in prison for crossing the state line doing what is completely legal here and in most of the US.

I agree. Because the incentives are so perverse for both voters and politicans. When you setup a system of institutional coercion it's nearly impossible to scale back. People want to use the system for their own benefit to the detriment of others. That's why I have such disdain for the political parties and can't see how adults who have been around long enough still put effort into supporting shitty politicans.

Of course it's way more complex, but it's largely complex because of supply and demand of humans seeking housing, builders and developers, and supply of materials and equipment. The costs of materials and labor is another issue but that's not something the state can solve. All of that is not really related to the government so I didn't mention it.

The state is causing the problem for which you are seeking a solution. If you could homestead unimproved land like you could 200+ years ago, you would solve a major issue. The state through land claims, zoning laws, property laws, local code requirements, etc. is creating artificial barriers to entry. Right now you have to buy property from existing owners at very high prices and not many are selling. But if you look at the actual state of unimproved land there is a lot of it where people could live, in thoery. Satellite images show this vividly.

Yes that's only part of the issue of housing. But again, realistically neither party seeks to change that. Libertarians have a property ethic that fairly deals with property outside of the states current system, but of course that's not on the table.

Those are literally propaganda talking points to play to emotions. The Dems and repubs agree on 95% of governance.

What is the executive, judicial, legislative, and administrative state actually doing under both of their rules?

The same thing maybe to minor degrees of differences.

None of these people are far right. They're all authcenter. Both the Dems and repubs. If you forget the terms and look at what they actually support outside of the 3 social issues that are constantly repeated you'll see very little difference.

That's literally just your biased perspective.

Hassan and Pappas are Democrat establishment and you've bought the "far right wingnut" lie about their opponents.

In an ideal world we wouldn't have to deal with any of these people but try to be a bit more of an actual independent thinker, rather than "oh yeah I'm independent but just so happens to be an apologist for the Democrats."
