Baker letter adds to debate over Healey’s weapons crackdown

STATE HOUSE — Gov. Charlie Baker urged Attorney General Maura Healey on Tuesday to clarify her stepped up enforcement of the state's assault weapons ban, warning that "ambiguities" in her legal notice for gun dealers could lead to an unintentional ban on many guns long considered legal in Massachusetts.
Baker, in a letter to Healey, said he supports the state's assault weapons ban as well as the Second Amendment rights of its citizens.
