Bill overview
This bill, which ultimately failed, proposed to require Massachusetts residents who own firearms to register their guns with the state. The goal was to improve public safety by tracking gun ownership and potentially assisting in investigations. The bill involved a series of hearings and study orders before being ultimately shelved. It aimed to establish a system for tracking firearms within the state.
