From what I read "machine guns" are illegal in Massachusetts. If you had a unmodified semi-automatic "assault style rifle" (i.e. there's no bump stock or other modification to allow continuous fire with one trigger pull) it doesn't appear to be illegal under state law.

Hmm, I take it back, there's also a weird Assault Weapons law that bans firearms that mimic the AK47 and AR15, and the FNFAL and Uzi and a few others, though strangely mimics of other assault rifles apparently aren't banned? Like, you could have a semiautomatic Tavor lookalike, and that isn't covered by the ban?

As long as the firearm was owned prior to 1994, even machine guns are legal to own in MA for collectors.

According to the news articles they were refueling from containers because they didn't want to stop at gas stations.
where'd they get the gas in the containers? lol. sounds fishy to me.

but maine is loaded with a bunch of these right wing nut jobs. same with idaho.

and pretty sure if they were refueling on the side of the road, they made a slight navigational error by not stopping at an exit in an inconspicuous spot

Manufacturers in MA like Troy circumvented the law with “others”, longer barrels than a pistol and no shoulder stock like a rifle (forearm braces got around that).

I am assuming the guys from the Bronx ran out of gas since RI is only about fifty miles away and they had just passed a gas station in Lexington on 95. Stupid games win stupid prizes.

Taken right off mass.gov website

Large-Capacity Rifles and Shotguns: All persons transporting large capacity rifles or shotguns under an LTC must transport them unloaded and in a locked case, locked trunk, or other secure container. Trigger locks do not meet the requirements of securing a large-capacity firearm during transport in a motor vehicle. Large-capacity firearms left unattended in a vehicle must be unloaded and in a locked case, locked trunk, or other secure container. ***Not slung on the side of a highway

Non-residents do not need a firearms license to transport their firearms in or through the Commonwealth, provided the firearms are unloaded and enclosed in a case while traveling.

Mass has some of the most stringent gun laws in the country. Mass beats to their own drum with all laws and regulations. Plumbing, electrical, many other codes don’t fall under international codes like the rest of the country

So...when I was about 10 I had a bunch of machetes, goofy Rambo survival knives, misc knives, nunchucks, etc. A friend and i went out bushwacking through a wooded area, armed to the teeth, and we eventually came out in a field. We weren't quite sure where we were, but could see the interstate ahead so we headed that way to try and get our bearings. We hopped the fence and were walking along the shoulder of the interstate to try and find a sign, twirling our machetes like pirates or whatever. Guess some folks pulled off with a quickness at the next exit to call 911 from a pay phone as the cops rolled up shortly. Got a stern talking to and they took us home...wooo 80s.

I had an old Chief on the Saipan who would remind us when we screwed up that, "proper preparation prevents piss poor performance." That is a lesson those guys would have done well to have learned.

If I had a small penis I would probably have a gun rights fetish myself. 2nd Amendment was a concession to slavers for “slave patrols” to begin with. Compromising with evil usually has negative effects over time.

I have a large one and it's high caliber. Sometimes I like to get the barrel polished.
