Hello and welcome @Glen44
Here is a list in Mass of what is banned,
- Assault weapon (ban list, includes revolving-cylinder shotguns).
- Large-capacity feeding device (magazine holding more than 10 rounds or five shotshells) that was not otherwise lawfully possessed on September 13, 1994.
- Covert weapons
- Silencers, unless a federally-licensed firearms manufacturer, an authorized agent of the municipal police training committee, or a duly-authorized sworn law-enforcement officer while acting within the scope of official duties and under the direct authorization of the police chief or his designee, or the colonel of the state police, who sells, keeps for sale, offers, gives or disposes of by any means other than submitting to an authorized law enforcement agency, or uses or possesses any instrument, attachment, weapon or appliance for causing the firing of any gun, revolver, pistol or other firearm to be silent or intended to lessen or muffle the noise of the firing of any gun, revolver, pistol or another firearm.
