This midterm, four states will vote on measures expanding gun rights, with none seeking stronger gun laws. Massachusetts will decide whether to keep House Bill 4885, signed in June 2024 by Governor Maura Healey to regulate unserialized ghost guns, expand red flag procedures, and ban machine gun conversion devices. Rights advocates now drive these efforts after earlier prevention wins in Washington, Nevada, and California, while Oregon’s 2022 permit and training measure remains unimplemented amid court challenges.
