Assault Style Firearm Update – March 27, 2025

[chris_1001]

So a certain Noveske lower is now worth $10,000?

You had to encourage him, huh?

 

[chris_1001]

So, what are you saying?

Are pre 7/20/16 lowers legal or not?

sorta, kinda, maybe?

902nd time

 

[Picton]

The bigger question is: why do we have such shitty governors, "representatives", judges, DA's and AG's?

You know the answer to that.

Because "the voter" either doesn't bother voting, doesn't agree with us on guns, doesn't understand the Bill of Rights, or is too lazy to vote out incumbents.

Take your pick. Or mix and match. I suspect the biggest problem is the last one. People all over the country have this weird, mystical faith in incumbents. I can't understand it, and I've given up trying.

 

[MickeyD’s]

I honestly don’t know who trust less GOAL or Maura

So much disappointment.

Have to have expectations to be disappointed

 

[Drix]

BEFORE 7/20/2016 is interesting since the press conference was 7/20/2016 and shops worked to sell out their inventory on that day. There are a lot of ON 7/20/2016 guns out there.

I sure hope there is a lawsuit ready to go. This "interpretation" of the new law is completely inconsistent with what is written and goes to codify a press conference that when litigated previously was deemed "no harm, free speech".

Why do we all still live in MA?

Most guns sold on 7/20 were lawfully possessed by FFLs in the state on 7/19, I don't think there has ever been clarification of "posessed by whom".

 

[GOALJim]

meanwhile Healey told everyone who had a legally owned stripped receiver pre 7/20/16 they could build them out as long as they could prove they owned the receivers legally. Now the law that codifies what she said says NOPE those are legal as stripped receivers but illegal as completed rifles because you waited to long to complete them. Seems legit.....

Under the new law, receivers, including unfinished, are already firearms.

 

[MAJoe]

Under the new law, receivers, including unfinished, are already firearms.

So you needed to register it under the old law, where you couldn’t unless it was built out, to comply with a future law that is applied retroactively. Think I got it?

 

[Shawnyc]

40 year old goody goody here, not even a parking ticket and guess what. I don’t give a fvck about any of this. I tried to comply, I spent ridiculous money on so called pre-ban items that are seemingly illegal now or can only be used at home or ranges. I whole heartedly tried to comply with the “laws” while enjoying my 2nd amendment rights. I lurked on this forum, called the AG office, Googled until my fingers bled just to get answers to ensure I’m GTG, but I have repeatedly had the rug pulled out from me. All done…..

Edit - Thank you for the update @GOALJim .

 

[JJP0618]

I’ll still sleep tonite, come and get them

 

[not new guy]

I just put all my roll pins back in, silver soldered muzzle brakes back on, and torch cut the receivers of the rest.

 

[CMEBoston]

Thermite "pyrotechnic" grenades are about $70 a pop from IWA. Of course, you have to be "certified" to buy them.

Sold, owned and registered before 7/20/2016 is what the law says. So no, in state on 7/19 with the ffl does not meet the language in the new ASF definition.

 

[Drill Baby Drill]

They don’t need to know what you have. Just stay quiet—it’s that simple.
What AR?!! I don’t know what are you talking about.

 

[paul73]

I don’t know

but they do, as long as it was processed by in-state ffls. and it was, when you did a transfer.

 

[Skeeter]

Just for fun: anybody have a cite for the “enumerated list” ?

 

[Tartakovsky]

NH is awesome guys. Come on up. I’ve got 30+ silencers now with tax stamps getting approved in hours, all the “evil” feature rifles, SBRs up the ass, it’s awesome. No state income tax. No sales tax, surrounded by horse farms. All my neighbors own chickens and livestock. I’m 50 min from Boston. Very little traffic. Very few hood rats. It’s great. Every day is Christmas. It’s like 80% MA 20% FL.

 

[Junior314]

I don’t care anymore

This.

The AG/Legislature handlers that monitor sites like this must have a blast watching everyone twist up into pretzels trying to figure out the BS that they put regarding all this. Confusion is probably better than clarity because people are afraid to do stuff.

But the overall worry of infection from Massachusetts is troubling for long term.

 

[Compooky]

I’m just waiting for someone to get charged with something like preban mags in their edc and not knowing about any of this because there’s really no way to know about the law and it’s details other than word of mouth.

Didn’t even get a letter like bump stocks.

 

[drgrant]

Not really. Most of NHs political problems are old trust fund moonbats that already live there and college students. Most of the influx is conservatives but the fed voting issues are all college kids.

That's gonna be a tack on with other shit. I guarantee it. Probably going to get plead out so is boring in the long game wrt case law. MA prosecutors are all about the deals....

 

[KBCraig]

It reminds me of anti-trust law. No on can read the law and tell you what's illegal until you do something that they decide violates the law. Then you get prosecuted for it. But a conviction provides no guidance for the next poor sucker, because they will prosecute anyone based on the "You knew what we meant!" standard.

Not what the enforcement notice said on 7/20, so that's an unenforceable ex-post facto destinction.

 

[paul73]

It’s like 80% MA 20% FL.

and 30% Alaska.
as a bonus.

 

[MAJoe]

It goes both ways. NH young liberals are sick of NH politics and Ayotte, fewer jobs, and are moving to MA.

NH is a lost cause to them, like MA is a lost cause to us.

That was my plan but my work place changed from Waltham to Plymouth.

I was going to move up there until I read on NES that people from MA moving to NH are messing it up

[Lxpony]

They're not going to, because they like people like Rapetile (and like 50 shitty gun shops that parrot the same kind of things) getting all faggoty over this kind of thing and scaring people. That's worth more equity to them than a single person in jail, is making thousands afraid of fake/imaginary bullshit. The AG's office has always been about the "fear machine" over everything else.

So true. They rather have 500,000 scared LTC holders then 1 prisoned white middle class father of 3 who lives in Shrewsbury.

I always said that the White Mountains were the Alaska of the east coast!
