Yep.im still trying to figure out what the boy did wrong... oh, i know why i cant figure it out, he did NOTHING wrong!
oh yea, they better arrest that Vet who gave him the "weapon-related" piece of brass. the kids a minor for cryin-out-lound.
Section 269-10,h,2 states, "Whoever owns, possesses or transfers a firearm, rifle, shotgun or ammunition without complying with the provisions of section 129C of chapter 140 shall be punished by imprisonment in a jail or house of correction for not more than 2 years or by a fine of not more than $500.
No person shall sell, give away, loan or otherwise transfer a rifle or shotgun or ammunition other than (a) by operation of law, or (b) to an exempt person as hereinafter described, or (c) to a licensed dealer, or (d) to a person who displays his firearm identification card, or license to carry a pistol or revolver."
Now, I know what you are all thinking. It was not ammunition! It was just a spent case! Doesn't matter.
This is also from Section 269, "For purposes of this section, “ammunition” shall mean cartridges or cartridge cases, primers (igniter), bullets or propellant powder designed for use in any firearm, rifle or shotgun."
Under Massachusetts law, this child, his parents, and the veteran could all go to jail for two years. The teacher and principal could be excused at the discretion of the police for turning in the ammunition.
An unloaded shell casing is NOT AMMUNITION.
That law is messed up.
common sense was sued by liberals, common sense has been banned!Where has common sense gone?
