Bill > S2649

This bill proposes several key provisions to regulate 3D printed weapons and "ghost guns" in Massachusetts. It amends the state's firearms laws to define terms like "assembly", "manufacture", and "unfinished receiver or firearm frame". The bill requires individuals who manufacture or assemble firearms to obtain a serial number, register the firearm, and engrave the serial number on the weapon. It prohibits the use of 3D printers to manufacture firearms or firearm components without a federal license. The bill also mandates that any polymer plastic firearms contain at least 3.7 ounces of stainless steel. Additionally, the bill establishes a task force to examine the potential implementation of live-fire training as part of the requirements for firearms licenses in Massachusetts. Violations of the bill's provisions can result in up to 10 years in prison and fines of up to $10,000.
