What would happen...I looked through the laws but could not find a specified penalty...
M.G.L. c.269 s.10E
Whoever, except as provided by law, in a single transaction or occurrence or in a series of transactions within a twelve month period, knowingly or intentionally distributes, sells, or transfers possession of a quantity of firearms, rifles, shotguns, machine guns, or any combination thereof, shall, if the quantity of firearms, rifles, shotguns, machine guns, or any combination thereof is:
(1) Three or more, but less than ten, be punished by a term of imprisonment of not more than ten years in the state prison. No sentence imposed under the provisions of this paragraph shall be for less than a mandatory minimum term of imprisonment of three years and a fine of not more than fifty thousand dollars may be imposed but not in lieu of the mandatory minimum term of imprisonment, as established herein.

Just curious, dont plan on doing it.

There was a certain person who had way too many FTFs in a year and was asked by the ATF to get an FFL, so he did.
I was curious about this too, now as I am free to bring my NH guns down. My fear is that I dont have the purchase infor for two out of three for them

Agreed. But it would be trivial to write a script that runs periodically and checks the database for someone who has sold more than X guns per year. The data is there if they want to mine the database.CHSB folks are busy opening envelopes and scanning the forms. I really don't think they sit there with a cheat sheet or plug your name in with a total of how many came in today's envelope.

If you're moving into the state you don't have to register what you bring with you. If you're selling what you brought into the state then you have a 4/year limit.

Registration is only useful for confiscation.
Anyone care to disagree?
I hate when people say "MA doesnt register GUNS, they register TRANSACTIONS"...anything with the buyers info on it and the gun and serial number on it smells just like a registration of a gun to me.
If you already own guns and move into MA, you don't have to register the guns that you already own. If we had registration, you would have to.I hate when people say "MA doesnt register GUNS, they register TRANSACTIONS"...anything with the buyers info on it and the gun and serial number on it smells just like a registration of a gun to me.

Good point.The differences between the standard of evidence required to secure a "failure to report a transfer" charge and a "you have an unregistered gun charge" are enormous, to put it mildly.
If you already own guns and move into MA, you don't have to register the guns that you already own. If we had registration, you would have to.
That's not to say our laws aren't an infringement -- they are. But it could be worse.

No, but let me put it this way. PD's are aware of the FTF transfer limits, . . .
