The AG has promised not to prosecute private sales.
It will be interesting to see where the market prices settle - not as scarce as MGs, but many more qualified buyers.
forgive my ignorance - but I thought sales and transfers in general were verboten? sorry, this whole thing has really screwed up my head and scared me to death - yeah I know, don't be a pussy but still.
Yep. This isn't a 'list' issues but a redefining of what an AW is. AW's are illegal to sell in MA private or not. It does NOT exempt guns owned prior to 7/20. It says 'if you bought your gun prior to 7/20 we're not going to come after you'.

Q: What if I already own a gun that is a copy or duplicate?
If a weapon is a copy or duplicate of one of the models enumerated in the law, it is an Assault weapon. But, as a matter of her discretion as a prosecutor, the Attorney General will not enforce the assault weapons ban against those who possess or transfer a copy or duplicate of a listed Assault weapon, if the weapon was obtained prior to July 20, 2016, when she issued the guidance.

so if you have a gun that healey deems an evil copycat that for now, we can keep, is there a legal means of selling it, seeing as the guidance suggests that gun shops can't touch it?
And if you already have a preban... Now it's a pre-pre banban.
Just can't make this crap up.

FFL can only transfer out of state.
Personal transfers are allowed via the efa10 route for now.
So if you own A pre ban AR can it be sold via personal transfer?
I thought anyone could sell anything to an Out-Of-State FFL.

Those of you who have not yet bought a safe should consider it - the value of your collection has probably doubled.
