Received a letter today from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts advising
all gun license holders on record that as of February 1, 2018
the purchase, sale or offering for sale of a bump stock or trigger crank
is unlawful.

Furthermore, effective after 90 days of February 1, 2018, the new law
makes possession of either, regardless of what type of license you have
unlawful, including possession in a private home. Even if you hold a
machine gun license, bump stocks and trigger cranks are illegal to own
after the 90 day period.

The letter goes on to state that if you have either of these devices you
are required by law to contact your local police department or the
Massachusetts State Police to arrange to transfer them for destruction
by the police.

Retention of either beyond the 90 day period will expose the owner to
criminal prosecution.

They state may be required to buy them.

Not according to the letter. It requires anyone who owns them to
transfer them to the police for destruction.

They can take it up with Greg. :-)

I bet you see a modification in that policy. They will certainly hear
from the NRA and they might even have the ACLU join the suit. I
understand most people don't care about "taking" bump stocks but it is
the "taking" that is unconstitutional. What if they decided
motorcycles or horses were too dangerous to own and told you to turn
them in? It is the same issue from a legal standpoint. It is a post
facto law and an uncompensated taking.

You forget. I live in Massachusetts.

Yeah that is supposed to be the cradle of liberty.
You guys threw the tea in the water over taxes and unarmed patriots
charged redcoats over the right to have a snow ball fight.
Now look at you.
