Bill overview
This bill seeks to repeal the existing law that prohibits non-residents from possessing semiautomatic hunting rifles in Massachusetts. Currently, Massachusetts restricts the purchase and possession of these firearms to residents only. The bill, sponsored by Peter J. Durant, aims to remove this restriction, allowing non-residents to legally own and transport these rifles within the state. It is currently under consideration by the Massachusetts legislature.
