Bill > S1084

This bill, titled "Relative to constitutional rights," proposes to amend Chapter 140 of the Massachusetts General Laws by adding a new section that would prevent any county, municipality, township, or other local government entity within the Commonwealth from creating or enforcing any laws, ordinances, or regulations related to the lawful ownership, use, possession, transfer, purchase, receipt, or transportation of weapons, antique weapons, ammunition, or ammunition components. The bill asserts that the right to keep and bear arms is an individual civil right and should be presumed to apply to these items unless explicitly forbidden by state-wide general laws.
