Some interesting points. I don’t think that leases in MA can prohibit guns. Anyone know of a law/case that highlights this?
@sushiritto Property rights do NOT supersede other rights such as the 2nd amendment. Whatever gave you that idea? In fact, you cannot say that any one right supersedes the other. They don’t. Things in law relate to previous laws. This is related to our legal system and it’s historical development. Unless you can clearly cite previous cases/standing you can’t make things up because you think one right is stronger than another. Most people know that without being constitutional lawyers. Did make me laugh as I know many people are opposed to the 2nd amendment and would love nothing better than to make it disappear.
Honestly, it’s a GREAT legal case and it’s likely we haven’t heard the last of it. I think I overheard on the radio that the gun owner is also a Harvard law student. Ahem. Should be someone who can bring this to fruition.
The landlord asking her to pay for the others is also laughable. If they have a lease ( and it seems they do) then she’d be listed on it for her portion and they can’t make her pay more. Again, where do people come up with some of these ideas?
