So, I have previously lived in MA 10 years ago and thought I had a good handle on the gun laws, but apparently things changed with a letter from healey.
Currently I live in a gun friendly state and want to buy a nice AR/AK and maybe a few pistols and bring them with me to MA. In the past, that just meant all I had to do was pin the stock and weld the muzzle brake on. Now, it seems like things might be different? Something about how all AKs/ARs and 'functionally equivalent' guns are banned post 'healey'? Or is that similar to the glock/pistol roster stuff, where its legal to own but not for dealers to sell.
Also, Apparently all 'AR pistols' are banned as well, even if you move in with them? (So I am guessing I cant buy a MCX rattler pistol and bring it with me?)
Sorry if that has (undoubtedly) been covered before. I went over the various stickys in this forum (Moving to MA?) (AWB ban) etc.. but all of them are 10+ years old and dont address this issue well in the stickied post
Thank you!
