No, early on in the covid lockdowns, the state of mass actually would send the cops to your shop to shut you down if you were transferring guns. Some dealers remaind open incognito but places like DTE and the other bigs were all closed.
They had EOPS literally camping on MIRCS and ratting out dealers to the cops that "looked like they were open" during the lockdown. So basically any dealer running during this lockdown, couldnt use MIRCS because it would get them flagged. There was that one guy in middleboro (C&F?) that threw the finger, but I strongly suspect in his case the local cops actually liked him and refused to play the state's silly retard game.
Basically the Faker administration had decided that gunshops were "non essential" or some bullshit. Well, eventually after a few? months some judge slapped the states peepee and they couldn't use that as an excuse anymore.
