Massachusetts: Vote on Major Anti-Gun Bill Expected Wednesday

Anti-gun politicians continue to play games around HD 4607, “an act modernizing firearm laws.”  The bill, formerly known as HD 4420, is once again taking on a new bill number and will be combined with H. 4090, an overarching budget bill that has nothing to do with firearm code.

Despite law-abiding gun owners from throughout the Commonwealth voicing their opposition to this bill, anti-gun politicians continue their attempts to rush this bill into law. Their latest scheme, which tags the 123-page legislation onto a budget bill, means that the Massachusetts House will vote on the bill tomorrow, Wednesday, October 18^th.  NRA members and Second Amendment supporters are strongly urged to contact their lawmakers right away, to voice their opposition to this bill.

This massive piece of legislation re-writes gun laws in the Commonwealth and imposes unprecedented gun-control. This is an ominous bill that includes the worst anti-gun legislation in the country, including:

•   Widespread bans on commonly owned firearms,
•   Eliminating due process through expanded “Red Flag” laws,
•   Implementing new “safe storage” mandates in and out of your home,
•   Instituting expanded gun registry programs,
•   Placing an extreme financial burden on gun-owners to price them out of being able to exercise their Second Amendment rights,
•   And much more.
