The Primer - Episode 15 - Healey's Enforcement Notice Spreads Fear, Intimidation and Confusion.
If they can do it to us, they can do it to you!
On July 20, 2016 Attorney General Maura Healey announced a deliberate misinterpretation of the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts via a highly controversial enforcement notice posted on her website. There was no due process, no public input, no members of the legislature debated her enforcement notice and the governor never signed it into law. Hundreds of thousands of licensed gun owners are now threatened by Healey with a ten year felony charge for failure to comply to the information posted on her webpage. (She also wrote that her enforcement notice is open to change at her discretion.)
Attorney General Healey's actions demonstrated a complete disregard for due process, she did it to advance a political agenda for her personal gain, she usurped the power of the legislature, she silenced the courts, and she muted the voice of the voters of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
As a result of Healey's actions, hundreds of small businesses owned by moms and dads are suffering. They are providers and they are grossly affected by her action. By her enforcement notice hundreds of thousands of law abiding gun owners now have a ten-year felony hanging over their head because of property they legally purchased. Her action also denies families the ability to include many firearms in a will, making inheritance impossible.
On this episode we discuss how Healey is intimidating and threatening law abiding citizens with her enforcement notice and lack of clarity it contains.
