Bill Summary
For legislation to repeal the ban on modern sporting rifles. Public Safety and Homeland Security.
AI Summary
This bill seeks to repeal the ban on modern sporting rifles in Massachusetts. Specifically, it would remove the definition of "assault weapon" from Section 121 of Chapter 140 of the General Laws, as well as strike the provision in Section 123 that prohibits the sale, lease, transfer, or delivery of assault weapons or large capacity feeding devices that were not lawfully possessed prior to September 13, 1994. This would effectively lift the restrictions on the purchase and sale of these types of firearms in the state.
