Massachusetts Attorney General Mora Healey has enacted a ban on semi-automatic rifles and certain pistols capable of accepting detachable magazines, citing existing assault weapon legislation. This action was reportedly taken without public hearings or legislative consultation, leading to confusion about which specific firearms are now prohibited.

Gun owners are expressing significant opposition, with a large rally held at the statehouse.
