Add me to this club.....Do you screw up when you tell me I CAN'T have something
Exactly.
If I hadn't been told that "assault weapons" and "high capacity magazines" were going to be banned in CT, I wouldn't have bought my first ARs or my first Glock. I was shooting 1911's and revolvers and had a couple of .22 rifles at the time.
I have multiple AR15's and Glocks now. Four of those AR's, (three of which are in CT), have manufacturer's marks, the rest don't. I've got spare lowers, a couple of Poly80's and the parts and tools to turn them into firearms when I please. BFYTW.
Is that a joke?? You can drive to NH, VT, RI, or ME and buy ammo with only the need to show you are over 21.Are these people getting someone to straw-buy ammo for them?

I was always under the assumption that you needed a manufacturer FFL to serialize and transfer 80% guns. My bad.Pretty sure the GCA requires a serial number even if you are the manufacturer, but I think you have till transfer to apply it.
Ma law clearly requires you to register the firearm, but I believe you can leave the SN blank as not all guns have serial numbers- as an example, there is a 1920ish shotgun in the family that has no SN, it was never made with one, when it was transferred it was left blank.

"Officers Will Delgado, Jared Hamel and another member of the task force “exhibited tremendous restraint” considering the couple were suspected of having a gun"
so with no proof of having a firearm and just a suspicion it is considered "tremendous restraint" to not shoot someone who is not threatening you?
I believe the statute says something about being in the busniess of manufacturing, you can build a p80, and sell it (serialized), but you can't build 80 p80's.
Where the line is is a grey area.
That's cute, but they will actually have to change the laws to do that. Bear in mind, if the legislature opens that box, things are going to hit MA gun owners a lot worse than just a ban on blocks of metal or whatever.

i think you nailed it. perps in the thread are unlikely, as you said, to have enough brain cells to build one.Not for nothing, there probably are at least some minor manufacturing rings involved. The likelihood that a 20 year old girl from Holyoke possesses mechanical skills that extend beyond operating a cellphone and an x-box is slim. If it can be shown that the firearms are being completed and assembled by other than the perp. and the ammo is coming from another state I have no doubt that there would be an attempt to hype it for change at the Fed. level.
So, what you're saying is that I can't build a P80 entirely for myself, then decide I don't like it and sell it to someone. Then, repeat that same sequence of events 79 more times, each time being like "well I thought it was going to be for myself, but then after I did it, I changed my mind again so I sold it".
Yeah. I wouldn't believe me either.
I would imagine the line is above 1, and less than 80.
