No fuss? Create a trust, lots of paperwork. Sounds like a lot of fuss and
unnecessary expense.

The trust and stamp adds $300 to the cost of the suppressor, and there's
a wait of about 4 months to get approved. And now you have to be
fingerprinted to be in the trust for new purchases.

It's a PITA.


Any gun permit in MA requires that you be fingerprinted, along with a
mug shot. They are on the permit.

For a while each time you bought a gun from a FFL dealer you had to put
your index finger on a digital fingerprint reader at the time of
purchase. The reader transmitted the digital reading to be compared
with your fingerprint on file in the state.

They did away with the digital reader. It was a pain and often you
couldn't get a reading the reader would accept. The state issued a
"PIN" number instead that you gave when purchasing a gun. Last time I
bought a new gun the dealer didn't even ask for the pin. I think they
keep them on file.
