Definitions to know:
A large capacity magazine is a magazine that can contain more than ten (10) rounds.
A pre-ban large capacity magazine is one that was manufactured before September 1994.
A ban on large capacity magazine is one that was manufactured between September 1994 and September 2004.
A post-ban large capacity magazine is one that was manufactured after September, 2004.
Don't buy any post-ban (new) high capacity firearms magazines. There are plenty of pre-ban large capacity available on the market in local gun shops or on the Internet retail and auction sites.
Save yourself money and needless legal trouble by NOT purchasing an illegal magazine.
In other words, because of our state firearms laws, as Massachusetts residents, we cannot lawfully possess, any brand new large capacity magazine (defined as ban or post-ban -- post September 2004).
What is the law pertaining to Assault Weapons? Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey imposed a new Assault Weapons ban on July 19th 2016. It is very important that you do not buy an assault weapon that is NOT PRE-BAN! They are out there, you just have to search for them. This is a good place to start with: Northeast Shooters willing to buy or trade rifles.
