An Act to prevent illegal trafficking and gun violence among youth in the Commonwealth

This bill aims to reduce illegal gun trafficking and violence among youth in Massachusetts by requiring all firearms sold by licensed dealers to have a "microstamp" feature that identifies the gun on every cartridge fired. It limits licensed dealers to selling no more than one firearm per customer every thirty days and mandates that all future sales must involve microstamped guns, with a three-year transition period for current inventory. The law also introduces stricter penalties for purchasing multiple guns in a short time and clarifies rules for legally transferring inherited firearms. Additionally, the bill defines "microstamp" in state statutes and directs the Secretary of Public Safety to study creating an interstate agreement to help stop cross-state gun trafficking.
