What is required to sell a firearm privately in Massachusetts?

Verification of the buyer's License to Carry
Both parties must report the sale to the local police
Completion of a firearms transfer form via the Massachusetts Gun Transaction Portal
Nothing, private sales are unregulated

The correct answer is: Completion of a firearms transfer form via the Massachusetts Gun Transaction Portal

Private sales of firearms in Massachusetts are regulated by state law and require completion of a firearms transfer form through the Massachusetts Gun Transaction Portal. This form includes information about both the buyer and the seller, as well as details about the firearm being sold. Options A and B are incorrect because they only address some aspects of selling a firearm privately in Massachusetts. Verification of the buyer's License to Carry is important, but it is not the only requirement. Both parties must report the sale to the local police, but reporting alone is not sufficient. Option D is incorrect because private sales of firearms in Massachusetts are not unregulated, as they are subject to state laws.
