Haven't read or heard about any incidents where, outside of a crime investigation, anyone has had their non-registered rifles confiscated under any circumstances.

As a side note for us firearms owners, the Norfolk DA's office, and I believe the MSP as well, have a policy of requiring you to prove ownership of any firearms(sales receipt, FA-10 or equivalent), they have confiscated, in order to return them to you(DESPITE them having removed them from YOUR home or safe or person), after whatever ordeal you're put through.
I argued that there's no receipt for this particular .22 bolt rifle, since it's over 35 years old. They give <than zero ****s about logic, or about the time elapsed since purchased, NOR do they have any ****s to give about the fact that a firearm NOT reported stolen, is tacitly understood to be rightfully owned, according to Mass law or MSP policy(I forget, but I got the idea from researching this issue when taking possession of a friends firearms in time of duress for him), considering the penalty of NOT reporting stolen firearms is substantial.
I'll await confirm/correction by the post-reading legal eagles, rustling about in earnest here, Rob?
