(DCWatchdog.com) – In a positive development for the defenders of Americans’ Second Amendment rights, Walmart in Massachusetts will once again be selling ammunition following a pause caused by the state’s Democrat governor.

Massachusetts gun owners faced another roadblock lately as Walmart halted ammunition sales to address compliance with a dubious new law.

Governor Maura Healey’s controversial regulations demand onerous record-keeping, sparking confusion among local businesses.

Walmart’s decision reflects valid concerns, yet once again, our Second Amendment rights hang in the balance.

Massachusetts’ new firearm legislation forced Walmart to suspend ammunition sales during compliance assessments.

This move came after Governor Maura Healey implemented a stringent law requiring detailed tracking of gun and ammunition sales.

Licensed firearms dealers must meticulously record each sale, making these records accessible to law enforcement.

Walmart, aware of its responsibility, paused sales “out of an abundance of caution to ensure we were in compliance.”

However, Walmart assures the public that “Our internal review is complete and we will be returning product to our shelves soon,” AP reports.

A major point of contention revolves around the accessibility of these records to law enforcement, raising privacy concerns.

Smaller retailers struggle without guidance, leading to inconsistent compliance measures.

Some rely on simple notepads, while others create forms in a blind attempt to comply with unclear regulations.

The Massachusetts Executive Office of Public Safety and Security reportedly plans to provide updated guidance.

However, a lapse in training program implementation complicates the situation, delaying training for law enforcement and retailers by a staggering year and a half due to a drafting error.

A lack of immediate comment from the Executive Office adds to the uncertainty.

Critics argue a rushed enforcement fosters chaos and leads to the industry’s discomfort and denial of fundamental rights.

While the state delays equipping its agents and retailers with necessary training, the citizens bear the brunt of the fallout.

The legislation, enacted unilaterally by Governor Healey using her executive authority, prompted Second Amendment activists to attempt to suspend it for two years, highlighting the broad opposition against this governmental overreach.
