What they mean by reasonable gun laws
In NYC, Party City was fined $500,000 for selling toy guns.
A Boston Globe editorial:
Incredibly, there is no minimum age to fire a gun in Massachusetts. All that is required for someone under 18 is parental consent and the presence of a licensed instructor. That is a massive loophole that has to be closed, especially when parents show such poor judgment about their children’s well-being. In this case, many more children could have been accidentally cut down.
You mean, like everywhere else? And there’s the misuse of loophole once again. Loophole seems to mean we think it should be illegal but it isn’t. Also, I’m sure some minors hunt in the People’s Republic of Massachusetts and this would end that. It would also end teaching proper gun safety and handling to children, effectively making it impossible to bring new shooters into the fold.
Also, it is apparently already illegal for those under 21 to fire machine guns in Massachusetts. So, let’s make it illegaler. I wonder if that restriction applies to those in military service?
But it’s all reasonable.

This will make it easier to reconquer Massachusetts from the massholes when the time comes to liberate that state.

“Reasonable”, “common-sense” gun laws would not be some reasonable or common-sense to those government officials and agents who seek to impose them on us IF they were applied to them, you know, according to “the equal protection fo the laws” (14th Amendment). Surely they should agree with that justice and equality? NOT!
No, “reasonable”, “common-sense” gun laws are the ruling elite having guns that are “illegal” to us for their protection while they use hired guns to enforce their gun control laws on the rest of us…which is tyranny!

Slawson, no it wouldn’t. Gun owners in MA (like me) are on your side. Much easier to conquer with aid from within.

There are no reasonable gun laws. They are illegal according to the constitution.
There are however, reasonable laws against the misuse of guns. But laws against guns by type, possession, transport,trade, etc. are all illegal. Despite the statutes that have been tolerated by pragmatic people.

So when will we get around to closing the loophole that allows the Boston Globe to publicly advocate shredding the Bill of Rights?
