Massachusetts’ lawful gun owners will have more red tape to navigate as a bill signed into law this week by Democrat Gov. Maura Healey will further infringe on their right to keep and bear arms as protected by the Second Amendment.
On Thursday, Gov. Healey signed the sweeping 116-page anti-gun measure, H. 4885, into law, making already restrictive Massachusetts even more unfriendly for lawful gun ownership. In fact, the National Rifle Association’s Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA) called the measure “radical” and one of the “most extreme gun control bills in the country.”
“With Governor Healey’s signature, Massachusetts has enacted one of the most egregious and freedom-restricting laws in the history of the Commonwealth,” Randy Kozuch, NRA-ILA executive director, said in a statement following the signing.
