DAY LATE CHARLIE! ONCE AGAIN STICKING HIS FINGER IN THE WIND TO SEE WHICH WAY PUBLIC OPINION IS BLOWING BEFORE VENTURING....THAT'S NOT LEADERSHIP!

Baker and Dick’s Sporting Goods take on assault weapons, perhaps a little late   Gov. Charlie Baker appeared to modify his stance on assault weapons, compared to what he was saying a few years ago, and is now calling on Congress to follow the Bay State’s lead in banning military-like weapons, reports SHNS’s Andy Metzger at the Herald News. As Metzger – and Dem gubernatorial candidate Setti Warren – note, Baker wasn’t all that supportive of assault weapon bans in 2014. Baker now says he’s seen enough data to convince him the state’s ban is working.  Meanwhile, Dick’s Sporting Goods announced yesterday that it’s ending sales of all assault-style rifles in its stores, as the NYT reports, and local gun-rights advocates, including the head of the Massachusetts affiliate of the National Rifle Association, are furious at the giant sports retailer, reports the Globe’s Brian MacQuarrie.
