Massachusetts Bill Would Impose ‘Widespread Bans on Commonly Owned Firearms,’ ‘Unprecedented Gun Control’
A Massachusetts gun control bill would impose “widespread bans on commonly owned firearms,” according to the National Rifle Association.
The bill, H. 4135, passed the state’s House on October 18 with a vote of 120–38.
According to a report from the Epoch Times, the bill “would mandate that key gun components be serialized and registered with the state, it proposes an enhanced system to curtail the flow of illegal guns into the state, and it seeks to modernize the existing firearm registration system. It would also expand the state’s ban on assault weapons by prohibiting the purchase of AR-15-style weapons and would ban the conversion of a legal firearm into an illegal automatic weapon.”
The bill would also outlaw having a gun while intoxicated and ban firing them near homes.
