Bill > H3476

This bill amends existing Massachusetts law, specifically chapter 140, to further regulate the sale of imitation firearms, which are defined as any air rifle, pellet gun, "B-B" gun, or any object that substantially duplicates or can be perceived as an actual firearm, unless it is colored other than black, blue, silver, or aluminum, is marked with a specific orange stripe on the barrel, and has a barrel that is closed at the end. The bill prohibits the importation, manufacture, sale, or distribution of such imitation firearms within the state, with exceptions for items solely intended for interstate commerce or for lawful use in theatrical productions like movies or stage plays. Violating these provisions is considered an unfair or deceptive trade practice, and law enforcement officers are authorized to confiscate imitation firearms from individuals not meeting these exceptions.
