Are musket balls legal to possess in MA without LTC?

It's pewter, not lead. It's a replica. Like the steel 1795 silver dollar replica I have.



Ammunition is:

If a firearms license is not needed to possess primitive long gun (not a firearm) ammunition, then why would a firearms license be required to purchase non-firearm "ammunition"?
That would be the argument
 
Is rock salt considered an ammunition component? How about a stack of dimes or pennies? Flechettes? A box of finish nails or brads? How about the brass rods used in line throwing shotguns? What about a handful of small gravel?

See the absurdity of the situation?

Just about anything can be fired out of a shotgun if it is within the weight limits for the charge.

Lead balls in particular are used in ball mills, they are not musket balls unless you say they are and until you use them as such.

Some things are "ammo" - bullets, cases, primers, smokeless powder.

Some things may not be "ammo" but could be made into it, just like apples and bagels have been cited as "weapons" in DPRM, when thrown. Don't forget that shoes are "weapons" when you kick someone with them on.

Remember that harsh language can hurt.
 
What is the major problem? Musket balls = Fishing sinkers. ( which are illegal in Suckachusetts ) but getting caught with lead sinkers is a lot better than something called ammunition components
