This seems to be a commonly held misconception. FFL transfers are
not required when someone changes his/her state of residency and the gun(s) already belong to him/her.
However, in general, the gun(s) must be legal to own in the destination state, and state registration and licensing requirements must be followed.
IIRC a resident of another state may bring a non-MA-compliant handgun with him/her when moving to MA and may sell it once he/she is there, but I'm not very familiar with MA law firsthand, so I'm not going to swear to this. YMMV.
