This video details the state of Massachusetts's new regulations mandating the surrender of bump stocks and trigger cranks, classifying them as machine guns. Effective February 1, possession of these items is illegal, with non-compliance leading to potential life imprisonment. The state is notifying licensed gun owners via mail and advising them to contact local police for transfer and destruction of these prohibited items.
Massachusetts has officially banned bump stocks and trigger cranks, classifying them as machine guns under new legislation (H4008). Possession of these devices now carries a minimum sentence of 18 months, with a potential for life imprisonment, exceeding penalties for some other firearm offenses. Individuals in possession of these items have 90 days from November 3rd to eliminate them, as selling them is also illegal. This legislation was enacted without grandfathering clauses for legally acquired devices.
