No offense...
honestly... but you've had 2 years of advance notice that the Legislature and Maura were coming to destroy us with the
Mother of All Anti-Constitutional gun banning laws. How come you waited until the last 3 weeks before the Monstrosity anti-2A law was scheduled to take effect, especially with Maura vowing in the media to stop the petition drive cold through an Emergency Preamble?
As a long-time
gun collector gun hoarder in MA, I share your pain. The new law is stopping my hobby cold turkey too. But at least I took the Legislature and Maura at their word and took steps to mitigate the damage. It's a whole new world now, but at least I'm well-positioned to tolerate the pain until relief comes to us one way or another.
So, for now, find a substitute pistol or go green and place that WTB ad for a private party sale. Who knows? It has worked for me. You may get lucky.
