My limited understanding is they don’t enforce but they won’t “approve” something which is in violation of state law. In other words, ATF won’t come knock your door in for an AR with a collapsible stock (state AWB violation), but won’t approve a form to make a suppressor in MA unless you’re an FFL and MA dealer….

Yes, but that no longer happens. The ATF are approving Form 1s for new ARs in MA for normal people. It was a short window of time shortly after her press conference when the ATF wouldn’t approve them.
