BOSTON — A Holden resident, stonewalled last month by Attorney General Maura Healey's office when she rejected his public records request for documents and records that may shed light on how Healey arrived at her "copycat" assault weapons ban decision, recently scored a victory in his appeal efforts.
According to a Sept. 16 letter from Shawn A. Williams, Secretary of State William Galvin's supervisor of records, David Reinhart's appeal resulted in Galvin's office contacting Healey's office — and Healey staffers agreeing to "review Mr. Reinhart's request and provide a revised response."
BOSTON — The firearm industry finally pulled the trigger on a lawsuit that gun rights groups vowed to file against Attorney General Maura Healey, who made waves in July when she announced a crackdown on so-called "copycat" assault weapons.
The lawsuit, filed in federal court, accuses Healey of issuing an enforcement notice that is "unconstitutionally vague, invalid and unenforceable."
