Mass Compliance Question

[Sam3456]

Hey guys, lol sorry bit of a newbie question here, but would i be breaking any law if i had a non mass compliant gun ordered online from out of state and shipped to an ffl here for the transfer?

No, but you better check with the ffl to see if they’ll transfer to you

No. The "compliance" list applies to dealers.

As others have/will say, make sure the FFL will do the transfer first. Many won't transfer off-list guns.

There's edge cases like AR pistols and so on; the above applies to run-of-the-mill pistols and whatnot.

In MA it is always best practice to check with the local FFL you intend to use when purchasing a gun from an out of state vendor. Different FFLs will interpret the convoluted MA laws in different ways. You always want to make sure that your FFL is willing to transfer the specific gun to you.

The only MA law that effects what gun you as an individual can own is the AWB, everything else is directed at FFLs.

Depends on what type of “compliant” you are talking about. Some, yes, some very very “NO”

I hope you're not using the computer lab IN the school you're targeting to ask all these questions.

Bayo lug 100% makes a 35lb boat anchor more assaulty, imagine how autistic a bayonet would have to look to fit on the dumb 82 brakes?

Which law is being broken by ordering a non compliant firearm?

 

[GaryO]

The FFL I use says to send the info to them first and they will either yay or nay it. You don't want to be stuck with a charge for a gun that an ffl won't accept it. Do I agree? No but until I get out of this hellhole I'm stuck.

 

[Happy feet]

If your looking for a Glock I hear Tombstone Tactical sells them fully assembled. (No need to get one online....they get them from the local police dept - gen 5's) They do charge $130 for the transfer but that covers all the paper work and registration. If you get in trouble with the PoPo no worries they,ll be happy to hold it and sell it back to you again!!

And just like that we’re a kinder gentler NES.

@Rockrivr1
Since you created this environment, answer this kiddo's question. Only because mine won't be gentle.

Which law is being broken by ordering a non compliant firearm?

if we're talking AWB-compliance? (I suppose the ordering is not the part that breaks the law...but even I have a hard time being that pedantic)

He asked a specific question. Not being pedantic.

Given the type of posts, and my perception of the OP I am assuming there is not likely a high degree of understanding between “compliance” as in the approved roster and awb compliance. At no point was it stated that this was specifically regarding handguns and the roster, which is why I answered the way I did

 

[Rate_of_Twist]

It isn’t a specific question. The question was “non mass compliant gun” Most here would read that as “non mass complaint handgun” but that’s not necessarily what is being asked

Chances are, you broke at least three laws yesterday. Just come out say what you want to buy.

Vague questions are stupid, and waste everybody's time.

Which law is being broken by ordering a non compliant firearm?

There are four types of non-compliant:

1. Not on one of the EOPS handgun rosters (crime for dealer to sell)
2. Not on the AG's non-list (act of consumer fraud for the dealer to sell)
3. Not compliant with the MA AW and not pre-ban
4. Not compliant with the AG's edict (claimed to be a crime by the AG, not tested in court)
