“Were those bump stocks registered when purchased? How would Mass know who has them?”
That does not matter. I think that when nobody takes this to court, they will call for everyone to turn in normal sized magazines, also without compensation, using this “success” as precedent. Then semi-auto rifles, which MA declared to be illegal assault weapons some time ago (depending on how you interpret the AG’s letter).
I’m guessing there are few “bump stocks” in MA, and very few will be turned in (probably leftover stock from a gun shop.
What will count is successfully demanding that they be turned in without compensation.
