Suit challenges MA ban on legal aliens' gun ownership

To emphasize just how insane Massachusetts' gun laws are, note that these same legal aliens could obtain a Massachusetts non-resident license to carry firearms if they were residents of another state, but are out of luck since they were foolish enough to settle down here.

Ken: realize what you said, they probably should not be allowed to have a firearm because they demonstrated a lack of mental acuity be settling there :) Now for the rest of the people in that state :)
