GOAL: Q: "What about 80% or “unfinished” lowers and receivers – possession, serialization, possession, building?" - Can't Build Up Lowers Anymore?

No, there are so many holes in this bill you can drive a truck through them
4885 considers a lower a firearm, right?
It also exempts any ASF lawfully possessed on 8/1.
But prior to 10/2, that lower was nothing more than a federally regulated paperweight in Mass since the old law didn't speak to bare receivers at all.
So you lawfully possessed the ASF on 8/1 even though it was only a receiver.
Remember the new law doesn't say assault weapon lawfully possessed on 8/1 - it says assault-style firearm which on 8/1 didn't have a legal meaning since the law didn't take effect until 10/2.
So on 8/1 you legally possessed an assault weapon part which was also an assault-style firearm under the new laws for exemption purposes.

And the dealer exemption - even non-compliant guns in their inventory were lawfully possessed under their dealer license so received full exemption.

While that wasn't the legislature's intention it was what they wrote.

As for the 7/16 stuff, they are going to have trouble enforcing that on anyone with a relatively clean case - the state made an announcement then did exactly zero to enforce that announcement so going back now and saying that while they could have shut down sales. Eight years ago they decided to wait so they could prosecute more people now.

Meh, there's a laundry bucket of shit you or i would get hit with long before. People have literally walked in this state for worse. At the end of the day it's still the trash grade atuff that will make up the majority of gun charges here.

Now, having said that.... when that new system comes online, and the phase in expires... i think at that point the tendency to pursue registration based charges will start to take off, because. many can be low evidence required tack ons.

This.

Right now, per law, you have to get a SN from the State, but can't get one. So not much you can do.

It will be a different game once the systme is in place. People can worry about that whenever the State is ready to start issuing SN and there is a registration portal.

That's... oh, probably about the spring of 2036.

They have no incentive to do any of this quickly, or at all.
