There is more to this story folks...
It is illegal to possess handgun ammo in MA without the proper license LTC, Class B minimum. It's illegal to own rifle or shotgun ammo or powder, etc....without at least an FID card or "Firearms Identification Card"..
This guy moved from NH, you have 60 days to get legal with all the licenses and since he was NOT a U.S. citizen, doubt he would have gotten them. The law in MA is pretty clear here, I don't necessarily agree with it but nonetheless, it is the law...
It sucks, but I followed the rules, by the book, and had no problem when I moved here...he should have gotten legal and THEN brought everything home..
