MA bans all new "Assualt Weapons" from being purchased https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2...usetts-attorney-general-bans-new-ar-15-sales/

Wonder how many other states will follow suit?

 

I know, I was wondering that same thing.

 

I would assume that would also include the sale of stripped lowers.. But that would be giving them too much credit. So hopefully its only complete rifles

 

They mention all copy or duplicate weapons are illegal as well. I don't believe you can build them. Happy to live in Alabama

 

That my friend is a good question

 

Pretty sure that'd still be breaking the law because you reside in a State that its illegal effective today. So yes you could prbly do it but you'd risk becoming a felon. And actually since a lower requires a background check idk what would happen. Not to mention the out of state gun shop could face fines.

As a CO resident I've dealt with something similar.. Were not allowed to have a magazine over 15 rds. Happened in 2012, so any pmag made before july 2012 is legal to be 30 rd but after july 2012 they are limited to 15. We can go to Wyoming and buy all the 30rounders we want but its still technically illegal if it was ever proven that we have possession of a magazine thats not legal. NOW, no-one in law enforcement (sheriffs and local pd) will actually check unless you commit a crime with said magazine(but at that point you dont care about the law). Our sheriffs have told the politicians outright that it was unconstitutional and they will never enforce it.

 

Short answer I think is no. You can only buy a firearm in the state in which you reside. If you buy a gun out of state, the dealer must ship to a FFL in your state in order to complete the transfer.

 

Essentially haha. I can't read the article on work computer, but is possession in Mass. now a crime? But its hard for someone to prove how long you have had a firearm. (gift, inheritance, private sale etc)

 

I wonder if they'd be allowed to purchase used AR's from out of state.

 

So far no, Just the sale of new "assualt weapons"(ak, ar, etc). So basically all gun stores have to take down all guns in that category effective today. So if you bought one yesterday you're good...for now

*edit: No clue on the sale of used guns though

 

So a private sale from out of state is still legal. Interesting.

Edit: or private sales in general

 

Most states you can buy a long gun in a state (may be a neighboring state only?) other than yours without the need for an FFL transfer in your state, however all handguns must have the 4473 done in your home state.

 

But another thing the throw into the mix, You could still buy an 80% lower and build an AR that way without needing an FFL or background check.. soo there is a way around the law

 

This is no bueno... I love living in MA sometimes...

 

NH is taking all freedom loving current MA residents

 

Maine's not. Stay south, Massholes! Keep your politics down there!
