Gun rights groups are trying to block the state attorney general from enforcing a state regulation barring the commercial sale of certain semiautomatic pistols.
Bellevue, Wash.-based Second Amendment Foundation and Boston's Commonwealth Second Amendment Inc. say the regulation requiring a "load indicator" on a semiautomatic handgun is "unconstitutionally vague and ambiguous."
It affects the sales of third- and fourth-generation Glocks to civilians, said Alan Gottlieb, founder of the Second Amendment Foundation, which filed a lawsuit yesterday in U.S. District Court in Boston.
"We have members and people in Massachusetts who would like to buy these types of firearms, and dealers who would like to sell them," he said. "The Massachusetts regulations are unique."
The regulation on the sale of handguns without childproofing states it's "unfair or deceptive" to sell semiautomatic handguns that lack a load indicator or magazine safety disconnect. A load indicator shows that a cartridge is in the firing chamber.
The regulation dates to 1998, but the release of Glock Gen4 handguns shed more light on its "arbitrariness," Gottlieb said.
An attorney general spokesman said they hadn't received the complaint and declined comment.
