He can legally own pre-ban magazines, just cannot possess them inside of Massachusetts. But he was a fool for moving into MA without knowing what he was getting himself into.
You guys need to relax. The AWB is in fact in effect and possessing certain things is in fact illegal. Your chances of getting caught/prosecuted are minimal, and though serious, I RESTATE minimal. Be smart and get rid of what you shouldn't have, and at the very least don't post about it on the internet. I know this is NES and sometimes people get caught up with the tinfoil, but the world is not in fact out to get you. Possible ideas: leave the mags with a friend in NH, ask an FFL if he will take a trade, go back to the shop and request they trade the mags for 10 rounders or pre-bans, ask an ffl to put them on consignment, or the NES thing, post about it on the internet, and then burn them in a wood stove.
WRT to the dealer knowing the law... nobody but lawyers are lawyers, and even at that great lawyers might no squat about gun laws. Often the only way to know how a law works for certain is for it to go to court. The AWB is clear in MOST regards, but like many other gun laws, a gun dealer has no requirement to know or understand it. Unless you are certain of the law you shouldn't be informing others of anything anyway. Hell, in theory the AWB may not stand up as a reasonable restriction vs common use.
Yes people should be aware of gun laws and the AWB, but also be realistic about the "ambi mag cut outs" giving you away before you have a chance to swap/trade the mags, if you do so at all. Sure you can live your life like that, but I think you'll find it easier to save the stress for the things you should be stressing about.

You should turn yourself in.
Not posting ot on a public forum accessoble to all would be a great start.
