I believe the MA standard is "capable of firing or capable of firing with minor repair or adjustment". Taking the firing pin out on an AR or 1911 does not turn it into a non-gun, even under the MGL definition.I agree, its dumb. My understanding is it comes from the way they define a firearm. Part of that definition is "capable of firing" a projectile. If it isnt capable of doing that, it isnt a firearm. If it isnt a firearm, it doesnt need to be registered.
