S 925 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act to stop mass shootings

This bill amends Massachusetts law to ban the manufacture and sale of assault weapons and large capacity feeding devices within the state. It directly affects gun manufacturers and dealers by prohibiting them from producing or selling these specific items, with an exception for licensed manufacturers selling to law enforcement, military agencies, or approved foreign governments. Violations of the ban would result in severe penalties, including fines ranging from $1,000 to $1,000,000 or imprisonment for one to ten years. The legislation aims to restrict access to certain firearms by making their production illegal under state jurisdiction.
