Massachusetts Firearms Registration and Transfer System
Commonwealth of Massachusetts

Massachusetts General Law c. 140, §§128A and 128B, requires all individuals who sell, transfer, inherit, or lose a firearm to report the sale, transfer, inheritance, or loss of the firearms to the Department of Criminal Justice Information Services Firearms Records Bureau (FRB). This on-line system will allow you to report the sale, transfer, inheritance, or loss/theft data electronically to the FRB.

Before you continue, you should have the following information available:

A detailed description of the transferred weapon (serial number/make/model/caliber etc.)
The Seller/Transferor's license information
The Buyer/Transferee's license information

Additionally:

It is unlawful to conduct a personal sale or transfer of a weapon to anyone other than an individual lawfully licensed in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. It is strongly recommended that you require the buyer/transferee to produce a valid FID/LTC License Validation Certificate (obtained by the buyer/transferee using this system) prior to conducting a personal sale or transfer.
You may need your PIN number to complete a transaction. You may obtain your PIN number at your licensing authority.

Since actually getting an FID card/LTC requires a criminal background check (with fingerprints submiited to the FBI), not only is your original ludicrous, but so is the one you just made about gun shows.
The Staties make rather a point about being visible at gun shows (at least the ones I've been to).
