How would one protect themselves then?

If the handgun isn't on the List, and AG approved, no MA FFL is supposed to sell it to any MA resident. They can sell thru eBay out of state, etc.
Post-ban "high cap" mags are supposed to be sold only to LE (duty use only) or out of state as well.
It is up to the dealer to do due diligence (some do, some don't) AND the buyer NOT to get caught in the trap by making sure that what they possess is legal to possess. The onus here is really on the possessor, NOT THE DEALER! Caveat emptor applies.
