Website in MA to view guns you own?

Nothing gets removed. My 30 years of gun purchases except for the ones on paper and I am not talking about FA10's the pre FA10 paper all show up. I have hundreds of gun transfers listed under my name and none that were sold in state person to person, in state FFL's and out of state FFL sales are not removed.

Someone I know they came to take his guns and he said he had 112 of them that’s a real laugh. He’s old how many guns he’s gone through it but it’s more than 112.

The latest guidance from the state says they are going to straight import the EFA-10 database into the new registry. How is that supposed to work when they demand you turn them all in and you sold half? Seems like they are going to make the new registry totally worthless from the very start.

I always wondered what procedure was to get a weapon that is damaged beyond reasonable repair out of your name. Asked a few LEOs during license renewals and no one seemed to have an answer.

If they’re serial number is intact, you just turn it into the police.. now you can do it through the web portal

It continues to fascinate me how smart people here (many with gobs of database experience) cannot figure out how the state could possibly figure out who last owned a gun that appears in the transfers database more than once. Baffling, isn't it?

In fairness to all, it is one of the sketchier databases... I have some insight into how it probably looks inside and it isn't pretty, but it would provide clues to track down the gun.

Even those interim owners can be important if they're trying to figure just out how Julio obtained the gat.

I agree. That's why it is the way it is... i.e., "write-only" so that all history is preserved. And I further agree that it isn't the prettiest database either. You can see that data entries have been far from uniform and mistakes abound.

But if I could figure out exactly what guns I still owned at the time from the infamous data dump, so can the state. They aren't that stupid. It's ludicrous to think otherwise.

And yet some people refuse to believe the obvious and it seems to be because the state doesn't take the time to parse out what you are supposed to own (after subsequent transfers) vs. what history says that you did own at some point in time for its basic inquiries. Shame on the state for being lazy, but it would be a mistake to think that the state couldn't produce a "net guns owned" list if they wanted to.
