I got all that I need and then some, I'm not selling anything that would be "restricted". There is going to come a time (when the government defaults on its debt) when it will be needed, IMO.
I am planning to finalize a move out of state within the year. I will sell all of my killy stuff at inflated MA prices and buy new (even killier) stuff when I am established at my destination. New / better stuff will be 50% less expensive when purchased out of state. Line starts here | [grin]
 
Nice, retroactive...

As a great networking engineer once said, "What difference, at this point, does it make?"
 
a**h***s will rejoice at the "mercy" of grandfathering.

Hopefulls will cling to FPC and Comm2A suing MA which will take at least 5 years to go through appeals (assuming SCOTUS doesn't get off their asses).

Noobs will cry.

Any hope for a next generation of gun owners has diminished significantly.


All of that, and no one will misbehave. *shrug*

A later section states:

Subsection (a) shall not apply to an assault-style firearm lawfully possessed within the commonwealth on August 1, 2024 by an owner in possession of a license to carry issued under section 131 or by a holder of a license to sell under section 122; provided, that the assault-style firearm shall be registered in accordance with section 121B and serialized in accordance with section 121C.

LOL, better sell it quick, there may be no more transfers allowed in a few days.

In layman's terms (since I am apparently a layman regarding this) is it essentially a pre-August 1st grandfathering? Does this apply to only pre-Healy ARs or any obtained prior to that date?
 
As long as it’s on an FA10 by August 1st it looks okay.
So hypothetically if I went tomorrow and bought ten stripped and serialized lowers and EFA-10'nd them they would be GTG even if they haven't been build up into complete firearms yet?

I really don't expect anyone to be able to answer that lol.

I’m wondering about something similar. What if a stripped lower was bought in 2015 but never built into a complete rifle. Can it be built and registered now?
