Assault Style Firearm Update – March 27, 2025

[mikeboston]

So for the rest of us retards that haven’t been paying attention (because I’m in NH), what does the law actually say about semi auto rifles in MA?

We don’t know we trying to decipher. We may need a psychic medium

We don’t know we trying to decipher. We may need a psychic medium

For us to understand this crap they would have to come up with an intelligent set of rules....So....dont hold your breath

And how the f*** do they think they are going to track ALL the sales since 2016? Damn bunch of idjits...

Short version of Chapter 135 and what the FCAB is drafting as an implementing document:

I guess it may become just one more thing to charge you with in case if good neighborhood gestapo stops you and inspects your cases.
Dunno and do not want to know. Life will tell.

It’s quite easy. The FA10 system is used as the source of truth. Copy/dupe model registered in the new system that doesn’t appear pre-2016 in the old system. Will they do that? No idea. Are there flaws to this logic? Numerous. Is it easy to do that match and make you prove otherwise? Yes.

To drum up fear and stir shit.
Get people to join goal and spend more money.

110% correct.

 

[Dench]

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

Turns out people from NH are messing it up.

Boston office of the AFT can give them all the records.

Fixed it for you.

Here is "The Law"...

As you probably know, there is a carve-out for previously owned firearms in the definition of "assault-style firearm" in Section 121 of Chapter 140 of the General Laws. However, that provision, located in subsection(f), reads, "the firearm shall not be considered a copy or duplicate of a firearm identified in clauses (d) and (e) if sold, owned and registered prior to July 20, 2016” (emphasis added). According to the plain language of the statute, an assault-style firearm must have been registered prior to July 20, 2016 to qualify.

Yeah, 2016 definitely is in the new law. The old law not so much.

 

[Reptile]

Looks like the late comers who bought $300 Anderson lowers on 8/1 at The Mill are stuck with useless paperweights.

2016 is now the law of the land folks.

Here's another fun thing to think about. Let's say worst case happens and they come knocking on your door for your post 2016 AR, if you removed the upper, stripped all the parts out of the lower and gave it to them what do you think they would say??

They would laugh at you.

During police confiscations - they even take optics and holsters.

They are going to clean you out!

Stop spreading BS. Some people are taking this thread seriously.

 

[Echo 225]

I'm saying that 7/20/16 is still completely meaningless.

For the 901st time.

Nobody is ever going to get prosecuted based off that bullshit. It's been like almost a decade and all you fear spitters have is one case you can't even give us the
details on, that probably got CWOFed out. (people keep telling me theres some case, but it sounds like fiction/smoke to me).

True,but have a plan in place because all you goodie’s will be taken away and your rights stripped

 

[slugworth]

Someone asked if they had any lowers on the gun racks Facebook page. They said they can’t transfer lowers has to be a complete rifle.

 

[ware]

piss off

 

[fencer]

Sure. If they actually GAF

2016 is now the law of the land folks.

You would just love that, wouldn't you?

They say thanks and that lower is banned. Cuffs for you. Lowers are now firearms as they have been under fed law.

 

[Jeffaah]

FFS…I do my best to follow actual written codified laws…no matter how silly or unconstitutional. Then they do this bullshit. Making people criminals overnight is Un-f’ing-believable

 

[MAJoe]

Partly this.

They could but in my uneducated opinion IF the state is going to enforce it, they’d use the new registration system. You said you have it, let’s go see. Chasing 4473s is a ton of effort for guns people may no longer have.

 

[Horatio Alger Jr]

piss off

The correct response is "piss off commie".

 

[chris_1001]

FIFY

“f*** of you f***ing commie, eat shit and talk to my lawyer”

NES is getting soft.

That is what the police do for 209A orders.

Everything goes - not just the lower.

There are a number of threads posted about that over the years.

Why would they do less for you?

 

[Fritz the Cat]

Why do we all still live in MA?

good question. for me, family.

I've been down this road, don't tell me what you think happens.
Did my rugged good looks help me? Doubtful.

 

[556USER]

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.

I hope you're right.

 

[Glocklike tendencies]

Partly this.


Boston office of the AFT can give them all the records.

Can they? They technically shouldn’t have those? Right?

Wouldn’t each serial number have to be submitted for a trace check?

Law enforcement would contact the manufacturer, then the gun shop that has the 4473, then the original purchaser, etc. until they get to you.

I don’t know if this is exactly correct……..

Also, when does the statute of limitations start running out on possession of ASF?, 6 years after 2016 press conference?

Or do you have to out yourself first?
