Illegal Data Release Massachusetts

[JRLB]

Anybody else searching through the registered guns looking funny manufacturers and model names?

 

[VetteGirlMA]

Well I found my 'buyer id' in all of 5 minutes from the data so I know what my id number is to the state. Interesting that the transaction shows sales, but it doesn't show guns I've sold, so the count would be off.

Interesting that there 1354 purchases made between 2016 and 2021 with no buyer identification. I wonder if there are FFL transfers or something. But they are listed as sales.

So that is pretty crazy
You can find yourself by birthdate and town or search for something rare you own
After that you get the identifier and bam... Public registry
BTW I can also easily figure out who is LE with the town they are in and birthday/what they own. With this list the easiest to publicly ID with real name is LE

I wonder how many people in a typical town share the exact same birthdate. Sure, some in any town bigger than a few hundred or so people, but few enough you could easily build a database of "probable" gun owners from that, and most of their gun purchases.

Mix in some other data points and you could find out where you're likely to find gun owners that own EVs and if they really DO prefer .40 cal. Or other derived data.

This is like a shopping list for gun thieves

Great!

Even fewer people will register their AR builds.

You have to actually build a AR first before you can register it. No sense registering that box of parts that's been sitting next to that 80% rcvr for years.... you may skew the data they are letting everyone see...

They touch on this on Bearingarms Massachusetts 2A group responds to semi-auto ban

My dealer isn't even there.

I think I know him. Julio? Hangs out on the corner of 7th and Main?

I am using AI to scrape NES for pictures of guns, logging usernames, and cross referencing to this list.

You know someone’s probably already doing it, on Bloomberg’s dime.

Serial numbers are in the dealer transactions, but not the personal transfers. I searched one of my serial numbers to find my Person ID, then I filtered both files using it. It's all there. I think from now on I need to disassemble my guns every 6 days.

I looked for serial numbers.

Can't find any.

No field in the database for serial numbers.

Can you post a screen shot of an example?

I wonder how many people in a typical town share the exact same birthdate.

Approximately 0.3%, or 0.075% if it's February 29th. I didn't even have to use a calculator for that.

uhm, excuse me, I need to make some phone calls...

 

[Marty McFly]

I can tell you the data is incomplete. Only one Magnum Research pistol showing and several people on NES have DE.

I always thought it was the same one making rounds

 

[Admin]

They probably accidentally used “cut” instead of “copy” when they were writing up your search warrant.

That is F-ing amazing

 

[Drix]

Doing some data massaging, starting with the personal sales.

The average personal sale per user is 2.94
The standard deviation is a whopping 18.2 guns.
The winner of "I buy on EFA10 the most" is buyer 35099 who has purchased a whopping 3,584 Firearms between 1/1/2004 and 12/31/2021.
There are 4 users with over a thousand EFA10 purchases.

 

[M125X]

Yea frick. I was able to because of my home built guns that I registered. the manf is my name. so yes include me in the lawsuit if it goes forward as it isn't randomized.

Yikes yeah that shit is crazy

 

[Admin]

Still can't believe supposedly "freedom loving" people live in MA. Literally one of the easiest states to leave in the entire country and still not be very far from "family".

That has to be an agency purchaser.

 

[tbk5]

Yup. So glad I left. I don't have to worry about my acts of civil disobedience any more,

edit--my acts

Friends of mine live in “The Constitution State”. There are reasons sometimes.

Gotta admit that i like GA’s attitude/laws re private sales. I’ve bought, sold and traded without state involvement or paperwork.

 

[bigbravehog]

Maybe a class action lawsuit is in order? Dunno if that's even possible given Massachusetts propensity for screwing over it's citizens at every turn.

I expect GOAL and Comm2A to lead this

Guns you traded to dealers out of state will never be able to be shown.

Lawsuit won't matter...data published.....damage done.

For real. How does this shit not make national news? Fox should be talking about this

 

[SgtHal75]

I’m going to bed in a few hours and when I wake up tomorrow I will be 1 day closer to leaving this state forever.

Yup.....asked the wife to jump to NH a few years ago.....she didn't want to move twice as we will be moving south eventually.

But it would have bought us a lot more time in a free state and we could have kept our jobs with a little more commute if we did, and honestly real estate at the time was cheap. We would have made out well.

Kills me.

 

[ontrgt808]

Is this list the "bible" and if one is not listed, would you be considered as not registering it in the eyes of the Commonwealth? If said confiscation order or other unfortunate incident came about and was used for cross-reference. I know my local PD contact told me they had me listed at over 18 firearms. I assured them I didn't have that many. Now.

Anyone that's ever done a private sale potentially opens the door to a buyer finding out the full extent of the seller's collection. That's a significant security breach for anyone that has a high value collection.

 

[hpm]

Hope my wife doesn't find this. It would be easy for her to figure out my Buyer's ID and then know how much stuff I've really bought over the years

I "won" many of my guns in raffles at the gun club Wife thinks I am a lucky SOB...

What would be a good comparison to convince people that this data release is wrong.

If you were to pick another fundamental civil right, and expose personal data (slightly hidden) regarding that right, what would that be?

What religion a person in town follows given a driver's ID? What books a person in town owns based on driver's ID?
