It is also perfectly legal to own a "machine gun" in Massachusetts, and to rent out their use. I was involved with this for many years.
I do not find the Massachusetts gun laws to be restrictive. However I am fully licensed. I'm sure criminals, and those that can't meet the requirements for licensure, find these laws to be very restrictive.
Since the New Hampshire death rate by gun is more than twice that of Massachusetts, it would seem that these restrictions are appropriate and working.
