An Act relative to the lawful sale of handguns

HD 2583 updates Massachusetts firearm sale regulations by requiring licensed sellers to electronically report all firearm, rifle, and shotgun transactions to state authorities. It mandates that sellers verify customers' permits, keep detailed records of each sale (including customer details and weapon descriptions), and ensure firearms are unloaded at delivery. The bill also requires sellers to display a safety warning about secure storage and prohibits sales to minors or without valid permits. These changes directly affect licensed firearm dealers and gunsmiths conducting sales within the state.
