But what else would you expect from a state court system that continually issues opinions such as the following?
Commonwealth v. Davis, 369 Mass. 886 (1976): The Second Amendment does not apply to the states and does not guarantee an individual right to bear arms under Massachusetts law. The court stated that the Second Amendment “is a limitation only upon the power of Congress and the national government and not upon that of the States” and that the Massachusetts Declaration of Rights, not the federal Constitution, governed state firearms regulation.
