Bill Summary

Relative to 3D printed guns and ghost guns

AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 140 of the Massachusetts General Laws to regulate the manufacturing, purchase, and possession of 3D-printed firearms and "ghost guns" - firearms without serial numbers. It defines key terms like "frame," "receiver," and "variant," and establishes requirements for serializing firearms, prohibiting undetectable firearms, and regulating the use of 3D printers to manufacture firearms or firearm components. The bill also creates penalties for violating these new provisions, and empowers the Department of Criminal Justice Information Services to implement and enforce the new regulations.
