I've never regarded you as a weenie but if you want to be one, I
can't stop you.

Wayne, there is no question that Massachusetts has gone overboard in
some of it's gun control measures IMO. The worst in my mind is the
convoluted and mysterious way in which the types and models of handguns
are "approved" for sale in the state. It's a case of government
over-reaching .... or a case of outright bribery and corruption. I am
not sure which.

Although it doesn't really affect what I do I think limits on magazine
sizes doesn't make a firearm any safer nor does a requirement for a 10lb
trigger pull. IMO, those are "real good" laws that don't really add to
any safety issues.

The only gun control regulations that make sense to me a

A gun handling and safety course requirement that includes an overview
of federal, state and local laws governing the use of firearms and:

A background check for a license and an instant background
check when making gun purchases, and:

The registration of purchased firearms tying it's serial number
to the original and subsequent owners.

I'd love to see reciprocal recognition of licenses or permits throughout
all the states. It may be possible someday if all
the states had the minimum requirements of background checks and
registration.

I don't see any of those requirements as being unreasonable or an
infringement on the right to own a firearm. I see them as being
responsible gun ownership.

The guy calls you a weenie, and you're talking to him?
Give it up. You'll find no joy here.
