An Act relative to silencers
This bill amends Massachusetts firearm laws to explicitly include silencers and their parts in the definition of regulated firearms. The change ensures that devices designed to suppress sound, as well as components used to assemble them, are treated with the same legal restrictions as other guns. By updating the statutory language, the legislation clarifies that these items fall under existing prohibitions and registration requirements for gun owners. This adjustment directly affects individuals who possess or attempt to acquire silencers in the state.
