Firearms Protection Act.

Aside from fleeing into the woods, all of that seems like a reasonable expression of 2A rights. I deliberately use the word expression, because we have definitely moved into expressive assertion phase of gun rights.

Let us now begin to reap our whirlwind

Or the Massachusetts police could have escorted the group to the New Hampshire state line, and there would never have been any need for the arrests.

Interstate travel should be governed by federal law. If there was a violation of federal law, then federal agents should have handled any arrest.

Okā€¦ huh?

What? NO!

Vapors

They were traveling across multiple states. Federal law states when traveling with Firearms across states in a vehicle. They are to be unloaded, locked in a case, and out of reach from driver and passengers.

Can you post that law please?

Itā€™s cited in the OP.

Itā€™s actually a safe harbor law.

Might want to do a little research on that.

On what, exactly?

To whom and situations to which it applies. That law was passed to protect the right to keep arms when passing through states in violation of the 2nd, so it probably applies in the case of that yankee hell hole.

It is not a requirement for all interstate travel.

Iā€™m aware. As I said, itā€™s a safe harbor law.

But it only applies if the guns are unloaded and locked up.

No, it is only a requirement to avoid state laws.

Iā€™m glad we agree.

Police issued a shelter-in-place order for Wakefield and Reading residents until the issue resolved. The men made no threats, according to the Wakefield Police Department.

Emphasis mine

As far as i know all you have to do is abide by the laws of the local jurisdiction you are in, ie state, city.

No federal law on traveling across state lines.

Hmm, did I misinterpret the law? Itā€™s not required to have the guns unloaded and in a case when traveling?

The law is a safe harbor law. If the conditions are satisfied, it overrides any state laws to the contrary. It does not impose any punishment for not meeting those conditions.

Notwithstanding any other provision of any law or any rule or regulation of a State or any political subdivision thereofā€¦
