The session in the Massachusetts State House began on January 7. As the second year of a biannual session, a long list of gun control bills introduced last year carried over into 2026. At the opening, there was limited movement on many of those bills. House Bill 2672 was originally introduced in February of 2025 by Rep. Frank Moran and was referred to the House Committee on Public Safety and Homeland Security. At the start of the 2026 session, HB 2672 was sent for study, indicating a high likelihood that it will move to a committee hearing in the coming weeks.
HB 2672 would circumvent the federal Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act and create a loophole that would allow the Commonwealth to sue both gun manufacturers and FFLs based on the state’s arbitrary determination of whether a firearm industry participant has “reasonable” business practices and controls. In the guise of public safety, HB 2672 is an open door for anti-gun bureaucrats to engage in unrestricted lawfare against the firearms industry.
The goal of this legislation is clear. If the state cannot ban firearms outright, the next best thing is to sue the entire firearms industry out of existence.
NRA-ILA will be monitoring HB 2672 along with all of the other bills carried over from last year throughout this session and will fight for the rights of law-abiding gun owners across the Commonwealth.
