BREAKING: The following bills have been filed for this legislative season. Contact your representatives and senators now.

HD834, An Act requiring live fire practice for a firearms license
This legislation would require that at least 5 hours of live discharge of firearms, rifles, and shotguns at a licensed gun club – including the discharge of at least 50 rounds of ammunition – be part of the required curriculum for anyone applying for a firearms identification card or a license to carry firearms.

HD835, An Act increasing penalties for the illegal sale and possession of firearms
This legislation would increase the penalties for the illegal sale and possession of firearms in Section 10 of Chapter 269, and Section 129 of Chapter 140.

HD836, An Act relative to universal background checks for private gun sales
This legislation would close a loophole in state law that currently allows for private firearms sales to be completed without a federal background check on prospective buyers. It would require a National Instant Criminal Background System (NICS) check by a licensed gun dealer prior to any private sale or transfer of a firearm. Dealers would be able to charge a fee of $25 per transactions for these services.
This legislation is modeled after laws in 8 other states and Washington, D.C., and would ensure that private sales are subject to the same background check requirements as sales conducted at licensed gun shops.

HD837, An Act to require liability insurance for gun ownership
This legislation would require liability insurance for the ownership of a firearm, rifle, or shotgun.

HD839, An Act establishing an institute within the Department of Public Health
This legislation would establish the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Firearm Violence Institute within the Department of Public Health (DPH). An institute of this nature would fill the void left by the federal government’s 1996 ban on the use of federal funds to study gun violence, which has obstructed research efforts across the nation.

HD916, An Act to close the large capacity magazine loophole
Under current Massachusetts law, the sale, offering for sale, transfer, or possession of a large capacity feeding device is prohibited, unless such a device was lawfully possessed on or before September 13, 1994. This law, however, is not enforceable, as there is no way to distinguish between a pre-1994 large capacity feeding device and a post-1994 large capacity feeding device.
This legislation would require anyone in the possession of a large capacity feeding device to register such device with the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security (EOPSS).

HD3041, An Act relative to 3D printed weapons and “ghost guns”
This legislation would prohibit the manufacturing of 3-D printed guns without a Federal Firearms License (FFL). It would also require that all 3-D printed weapons have unique serial numbers so that they may be properly traced and recorded.

HD3143, An Act to prevent illegal trafficking and gun violence among youth in the Commonwealth
Microstamping provides an avenue for law enforcement to pursue those who commit gun crimes by connecting a criminal with evidence found at the scene of a crime involving a gun. This legislation would require all guns sold to be designed or equipped with the ability to microstamp ammunition. This legislation also addresses gun trafficking, by stating that no licensed firearms dealer may sell more than 15 firearms during any 1 year period to any individual, not including firearms bequeathed to an individual through a trust.

This state just keeps getting worse and worse.

 

[one-eyed Jack]

Wow. 50 rounds in 5 hrs. So I bring the Tommy with a 50 round drum and dump the 50 rounds. Then I sit on my ass for 5 hrs. What idiot thought that one up? Jack.

 

[Ipe]

What idiot thought that one up? Jack.

Someone who doesn't Jack Sheet about guns and doesn't care to know. Ever.

 

[rkade2]

What a joke.

They’re going to be using this for just the tip:

I'm sure this will pass.

The people will now comply, however.

There are tens of millions of magazines in Massachusetts. It is unreasonable to expect all of them to be registered. They don't even have serial numbers.

 

[E.Stoner]

Hey look at all those infringements.

 

[mikeyp]

Hey look at all those infringements.

Just remember, gun owners need to compromise

 

[TheMick]

Yea ..... No

 

[Greschner 4]

Mandatory liability insurance which will require make, model, serial #'s, & location.

 

[Choctaw]

But they advocate safe injection sites that break existing laws. Bizarro World.

 

[wmass]

Hr916 ... then why do i spend so damn much on actual pre bans?

 

[MachineHead]

Let’s see if they take out the exemption for off-duty LEOs like in NJ.

I’m sure this will help the everyday LTC citizen feel better, especially with the new Suffolk County DA decriminalizing burglaries.

 

[180 GRAIN FMJ]

Hr916 ... then why do i spend so damn much on actual pre bans?

I know, right!

So if "there is no way to distinguish between a pre-1994 large capacity feeding device and a post-1994 large capacity feeding device", then one could buy a ton of post-bans and register them, lol.

 

[usp45ct]

Wow, why don’t they just make shooting someone for no reason illegal. Then all of this goes away.

 

[Drix]

I know, right!

So if "there is no way to distinguish between a pre-1994 large capacity feeding device and a post-1994 large capacity feeding device", then one could buy a ton of post-bans and register them, lol.

My first thought too:

"Welp, gonna go buy every pmag I can find in a free state, leave them there, and register them then see what happens."

 

[VTski4x4]

Were about to get effed, no lube. F these POS bastards.

 

[180 GRAIN FMJ]

My first thought too:

"Welp, gonna go buy every pmag I can find in a free state, leave them there, and register them then see what happens."

Only problem is that next year when they ban them outright, Officer Friendly will be knocking on your door with a list in his hand when it's time to turn them in.

 

[Hetzer]

So what do we do to fight? What's the plan?


Edit: (Hahaha, we take it in the ass again that's what)

not the least bit curious how you found this.

 

[SgtHal75]

Don’t comply. At this point all of the stuff in all the states is nothing but a bunch of BS laws by politicians paid off by Bloomberg and friends. They don’t have the manpower or the resources to break up a monkey shit fight at the zoo let alone track down every preban mag in the state. I might just start buying Pmags, the hell with it!

 

[Drix]

Only problem is that next year when they ban them outright, Officer Friendly will be knocking on your door with a list in his hand when it's time to turn them in.

He hasn't come yet, so I doubt it, but if he does I can just toss him some spares. These are Pmags we're talking about.

 

[MSant]

I could make the 50 rounds on my rockchucker before firing them then have time to reload the brass

 

[Ringworm]

Just remember, gun owners need to compromise

we already did:
1934
1968
1986
1992
1994

 

[HuntMaine]

WTF......I have no words other than those. Also how do you micro stamp 6 shot in a shotgun shell?

Depending on how this is worded, this could mean the end of legally transferring pre 7/20/2016 "Assault Weapons" via private sale. It could also mean no more private sales of non-approved handguns.

 

[VetteGirlMA]

Christ what a sh** show. I have a question in case GOAL is reading this. How can I as an ordinary person get time in front of my senator/rep to talk about these issues? I mean the legislature must have some pecking order for this nonsense? This is a solid California style gunpocalypse.

 

[VetteGirlMA]

WTF......I have no words other than those. Also how do you micro stamp 6 shot in a shotgun shell?

Very carefully I'm imagining.

Do it anyway! They can’t stop it, they won’t prosicute it, they know it’s all BS to show the pathetic breather bags in this state that they care.
