Massachusetts: Gov. Healey Signs Radical Gun Control Into Law

On Thursday, July 25th, Governor Maura Healey (D) signed one of the most extreme gun control bills in the country, H. 4885, "an act modernizing firearm laws," into law. The 116-page radical gun control package implements sweeping gun bans, magazine restrictions, mandatory registration of all firearms, extreme training requirements, and more. For a complete analysis of H. 4885, visit Gun Owners' Action League's (GOAL) website by clicking HERE

Following the enactment of the law, Randy Kozuch, Executive Director of the NRA Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA), released the following statement:

“With Governor Healey’s signature, Massachusetts has enacted one of the most egregious and freedom-restricting laws in the history of the Commonwealth. We are thankful for the bipartisan group of legislators who stood against gun registries and the banning of commonly owned firearms and standard magazines. NRA will be challenging this law to restore the rights guaranteed to Bay Staters by the U.S. Constitution.”

More updates on this law are forthcoming. Please stay tuned to the NRA-ILA and GOAL websites for updates as this situation progresses.
