Does anyone know any details about this plan to ban AR-15 style rifles in MA? I remember reading something about it after that guy shot up that strip club in New Bedford and there's a comment about the proposed bill on the FSguns site.

That new AWB is the McCarthy Bill. There's a MA bill being planned that specifically targets AR-15 style rifles. MCOPA and ICPA only push for this crap so they can make money and please their poltical connections that got them the job.

Am I correct if I say they cannot come door to door and collect them, they can only ban future purchases and all AR-15 style rifles purchased prior to the actual ban will be lawful?
No, they could theoretically confiscate or demand you cripple the gun to avoid jail (they've done this in CA).
Confiscate: NOLA after Katrina
Confiscate: CA with SKS. The allowed an extended registration, later used that info to confiscate or threaten jail.
