Stop panicking lmao
GOAL's guidance isn't helping with the panic:
Grandfathering – The key phrase is “lawfully possessed”.
- Chapter 140, 131M has been changed from “lawfully possessed” to “lawfully possessed in Massachusetts”. The importance of this change is that after August 1, 2024, any firearm meeting the new Assault Style Firearm definition is banned from being imported into Massachusetts. This includes the “pre-ban” firearms pre-September 14, 1994.
- Because of the terminology used, it appears that the only guns grandfathered after the July 20, 2016 are the those that meet the new two feature test, such as the Tavor. So, because of the “lawfully possessed” and how that will be interpreted, it appears that there are now two different groups of guns that must be dealt with.
- Copies and duplicates of the enumerated list are only grandfathered if they were acquired prior to July 20, 2016. (The Attorney General's "2016 Assault Weapons Advisory" has now become law.)
- Any gun that is not on the enumerated list, or their copies and duplicates, but now meets the new two feature test and is lawfully possessed in Massachusetts on August 1, 2024. We believe this group also includes the pre-September 13, 2024 assault weapons.
I don't know who writes this trash but they need to proofread it. "[T]wo different groups of guns that must be dealt with" and then they address copies and duplicates, explaining their interpretation as to grandpersoning, and they address guns not on the enumerated list but don't actually say how those are supposed to be "dealt with." That's on top of the interpretation itself being retarded.
I'm going to go confront GOAL in the other thread they started.
