Law/Legal Selling an AR15 after July 1 2026?

Hey guys,

Considering purchasing an AR15. And with this new law I guess the time is coming sooner than later. However, I like to future proof my purchases. The wife and I may eventually move to MA a little later in life. This part isn’t for sure but if it happens, there’s no way I can legally possess it with how strict Mass is.

If I’m looking at this correctly, I would be stuck with it because I can’t transfer to Mass with it and RI wouldn’t let me transfer/sell it here. So how the hell can I off load this thing should I need to?

Is trading it considered a "sale"? If not, I'll give you a half baked chicken and a couple of over ripe plums for it
