of any gunCan you please point me to the law section? The one I found(Section 10A), describes as such:
The list does not contain the term "rifle" as in other sections of MGL. Am I missing some other regulation?

A "sound" requires 3 things, a transmitter, a transfer media, and a receiver. Take one away and there is no sound. So if you muffle the transmitter, you muffle all sound because all media and receivers are affected. If you muffle a single receiver you only affect that one receiver, the sound still exists for all other instances of the 3 requirements. If you remove the media.... everyone dies because we can't breath and the existence of a sound, or not, doesn't matter anymore.
I was replying to the comment about hearing protection possibly being a suppressor, and was explaining how that does not work because it only suppresses the one receiver and not ALL receivers, which would be necessary to suppresses the "sound". As opposed to suppressing the transmitter which would suppress the all of the "sound".Um...what? Thanks for the science lesson, but contextually....what? All I was saying was the law was written ambiguously, not arguing the physics of sound.
NES has never been immune to magical or delusional thinking. We still have many people trotting out the argument that SBRs are exempt from the AWB because of the conflict in definitions between state law and federal law around pistol, rifle, etc. That is a fine case of magical thinking if ever I have seen one. This suppressors on rifles are legal theory is no different. People will always believe what they want to be true regardless of reality. Just look at every Libtard you have ever met...This thread is hilarious considering the premise is the law doesn't say "rifle" but clearly says using a device that silences or muffles ANY GUN is a no no. Ffs its been common knowledge in ma the suppressors are flat out illegal for like.....forever......then a newb posts that there may be a legal argument that based on the non exclusion of the word "rifle" that we may have a case to bring forth and win.....and nesers actually start running with the premise
Don't you supporters of this premise think goal would have run with this by now? Oh.....yeah.....you guys are all gonna get the ball rolling based on a newb post off nes.
I tend to disagree. In any case, get used to it, Sam. Jack.This forum is NOT welcoming to new people. Just a bunch of cranks... no wonder there hasn’t been a single normal read in years. Every question is met with ridicule and animosity. EVERY.
Go to your safe space. Im really welcoming. And I offer my opinion when I have one. If not I make some off the cuff joke or post a meme. You need to relax. Not a new read in years? You joined 2 months ago. Most people here are welcoming. Of course there are jokes. Why the hostility? We usually respond favorably to people that don't come across like you do. A regular question is fine. We are usually the same in public. Act like a normal human being and we will do the same. Why are you so angry? There are other forums. Or maybe you like to troll.This forum is NOT welcoming to new people. Just a bunch of cranks... no wonder there hasn’t been a single normal read in years.

Part of the problem is that some newbies would just throw out a question to draw comments for their personal amusement rather than research the gun laws and going to Google. Who pissed in your corn flakes this morning, Sam? Jack.This forum is NOT welcoming to new people. Just a bunch of cranks... no wonder there hasn’t been a single normal read in years.

Ehh....the statement was made more than 9 months ago. Soooo... Yeah... Those corn flakes were eaten, pooped out, pumped out by the septic service pump, and dumped somewhere in Boston Harbor...Who pissed in your corn flakes this morning, Sam
No offense intended, Sam. I just get a chuckle out of that comment whenever I see it used here.Ehh....the statement was made more than 9 months ago. Soooo... Yeah... Those corn flakes were eaten, pooped out, pumped out by the septic service pump, and dumped somewhere in Boston Harbor...
No offense taken Jack! We're good!No offense intended, Sam. I just get a chuckle out of that comment whenever I see it used here.
To be fair, suppressors are 100% illegal in RI, but I have a ATF approved form 1 because I found a loophole that ATF accepted. But if a state trooper ever saw it, I’d 100% be arrested, so I never built it.@Sammy whether the reading of the law supports your opinion, you will find that if you file a form 4 for suppressor the ATF will reject it citing MGL.
Would be interesting to participate in a well-funded legal fight based on the MGL language however it can't be me to pay for it.

I want to be very clear, I never built it.So you can build the suppressor, but not use it?
In summary you were willing to test your theory for $200 but not for $50,000 and your freedom. That I can understand.I want to be very clear, I never built it.
The reason for that is while ATF accepted my logic, the state absolutely would try to get someone doing this. It would take a ton of time, and money to get a ruling on this in a state court. And obviously that section in question wasn’t intended for the use I tried.
But it’s a testament to pushing the boundaries, you never know what might happen.
You could easily build it out of state and store it that way and be immune from prosecution*. IIRC there's not even an ATF 5320 required for cans.I want to be very clear, I never built it.
