H 2716 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act to repeal expanded firearms bans

HD 3607 repeals specific provisions from Chapter 135 of the 2024 firearms law. It removes restrictions on firearm features by deleting subsection (iv) from the definition of "Large capacity firearm" (Section 22) and striking subsection 131(a) (Section 49), while repealing Sections 16 and 71 entirely. These changes directly affect firearm regulations in the state, eliminating previously expanded bans on certain weapons and features. The bill simplifies the legal framework by removing specific prohibitions without introducing new requirements. This is a procedural repeal of targeted restrictions within the 2024 law.
