The Democratic Party's nomination of Hillary Clinton this past week has revived an old controversy in a new way: presidential third terms.
STATE HOUSE — Attorney General Maura Healey would be stripped of her authority to regulate firearms under a bill filed Friday afternoon by the state Senate minority leader.
Sen. Bruce Tarr of Gloucester filed his "act to protect due process and strengthen public safety" 12 days after Healey announced her office would step up enhancement of the state's 1998 assault weapon ban on what she described as "copycat" guns that are similar in construction to banned guns or have interchangeable key parts.
