Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary goal of Massachusetts Bill H.2361?

Bill H.2361 aims to ban the manufacture and possession of all semi-automatic rifles and shotguns in Massachusetts by redefining 'assault weapon' to include any semi-automatic mechanism and expanding the definition of 'large capacity weapon'.

How does Massachusetts Bill H.1452 differ from H.2361?

While H.2361 focuses on possession, Bill H.1452 targets the manufacturing of firearms. It seeks to ban the production of any 'assault weapon' or 'large capacity feeding device,' and specifically outlaws the manufacture of all semi-automatic rifles.

What are the implications of Massachusetts' current firearm regulations?

Massachusetts already bans magazines over 10 rounds and employs a system of approved firearms rather than banned lists. The state also has strict penalties, including life imprisonment for bump stock possession.

What types of firearms would be affected by the proposed Massachusetts bans?

The proposed bans, particularly H.2361, would affect nearly all semi-automatic rifles and shotguns, including common models like Glocks (due to magazine capacity), and anything capable of accepting magazines over 10 rounds, excluding only lever-action, bolt-action, and pump-action firearms.
