Authorities said the gun was not registered to Rakesh and that he was not licensed to possess it. State Police are working with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives to investigate where the gun originated. [More]

As WarOnGuns Correspondent Edmund M observes:
Massachusetts requires that all firearm transfers (among individuals and from a FFL) be reported to the Division of Public Safety (State Police). A License to Carry Firearms is required to possess a pistol within your residence. An unregistered firearm possessed by an unlicensed individual is a double whammy of ungoodness in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. A former head of Harvard Business School Online managed to figure out how to acquire a firearm outside the system of bureaucratic hurdles, something that requires no formal education to accomplish.
Stories like this one out of Massachusetts, once the birthplace of the American Revolution, make me wonder if Capt. John Parker and his men could see it now, if they would have bothered to get out of bed on April 19, 1775.
