A Massachusetts ballot question labeled Question 9 asks voters whether to retain a 2024 statute that revised state firearms rules. A recent poll showed 49 percent would definitely vote yes and 21 percent would probably vote yes. That statute imposed new penalties on privately assembled firearms and allowed school administrators and hospital staff to seek red-flag orders. The repeal effort still reached the ballot in a state long known for strict gun laws. Same-day voter registration appears on the same ballot.
