Bill Summary

Relative to tracking, tracing and stopping illegal firearms

AI Summary

This bill aims to track, trace, and stop the use of illegal firearms in Massachusetts. It establishes an Illegal Firearm Tracking and Tracing Task Force, consisting of 9 members appointed by various state officials, to determine where illegal firearms are prevalent, where they are coming from, and their impact on violent crimes and suicides. The task force will make annual reports and recommendations to inform policy and legislation. Additionally, the bill prohibits licensed firearms dealers from selling or transferring firearms at gun shows or collectors' club meetings without a unique serial number or other permanent identification mark. It also prohibits the creation or sale of unregistered firearm components using 3D printers at such events. The bill also requires organizers to verify attendees have valid firearm licenses or identification cards, with penalties for non-compliance.
