AI Summary

This bill aims to prohibit the interstate trafficking of illegal firearms. It amends the existing Massachusetts law to prevent licensed firearms dealers from selling or transferring firearms, rifles, shotguns, or machine guns without a unique serial number or other permanent identification mark at regular meetings of collectors clubs or gun shows. Additionally, the bill requires organizers of such events to verify that attendees possess a valid firearm identification card or license to carry firearms, and imposes fines on those who violate these provisions.
