However, getting a folding stock may fall under the "questionable" part of legality, at least until September 14, 2004 when the "Assault Weapons" Ban of 1994 expires, which limits folding stocks, pistol grips, flash-suppressors, and bayonet lugs on semi-automatic firearms with removable magazines. Also, you may not purchase any box magazine made after September 13, 1994 that can hold more than 10rds of ammo. If its made before that, its ok, but not after that. BTW, I feel safer walking around Mass or NH than in any other state. In Texas, where gun laws are pretty lax, the big cities are turning into combat zones.
You should check into that. BTW, a good forum for these types of questions is The High Road. Try the Rifle Forum there, and tell them I sent you. My handle here is the same as over there. Drop in the General Discussion and introduce yourself.  |
When you buy a new gun nowadays, it is being registered, you just don't know it. They call in a request to verify your ability to purchase a firearm. The call, the gun, and your identity is put into an FBI database. The only exception is private purchases between individuals. I was really surprised to find this out, as I thought the Brady law only required them to run you for a handgun. Gun sellers now run a Brady check on all gun buyers, and however you care to define "register", you are in fact being registered in a Federal database everytime you buy a gun. Also, those assulat-ban limits are so full of loopholes and there is so much pre-ban stuff out there, just get the right wad of cash and you can get whatever you want. Also, gun registration is a federal matter, I never had any trouble owning guns when I lived in Mass. Carry permits, on the other hand, are a state matter, in Mass you have a mandatory automatic five year sentence for carrying any kind of concealed weapon.
