Introduced Text

Massachusetts H2715 amends the definition of "assault-style firearm" by removing specific features.

Massachusetts H2715 modifies the definition of "assault-style firearm" by deleting certain features from the criteria. This change affects how firearms are classified under state law, potentially impacting firearm regulations and enforcement. The bill specifically removes subsections 121(a)(v) and 121(b)(iv) from the definition, which likely alters the characteristics that qualify a firearm as an assault-style firearm. This amendment could influence firearm ownership, sales, and restrictions within the state.
