Bill > S1246

This bill aims to enhance data collection related to firearm purchases, specifically focusing on multiple purchases by the same individual or licensee. It amends existing Massachusetts General Laws to require the collection and analysis of information on transactions involving multiple firearm purchases annually, including instances where a single licensee buys five or more firearms within a four-month period. The bill also mandates an analysis to determine if any of these firearms were used in a crime, as reported under a specific section of law. Furthermore, it requires data to be collected and analyzed to see if a firearm used in a crime was linked to other firearm purchases or transfers by the same license holder within a twelve-month period, in Massachusetts or elsewhere, and to count how many such firearms were involved.
