Will the New Massachusetts Law on Ghost Guns, Assault Weapons, and Gun-Carrying Pass Legal Muster?
Boston University’s Cody Jacobs believes it will, despite the NRA’s rhetoric
“Bring it on.”
With that, Massachusetts State Rep. Michael Day (D-Stoneham) dared the National Rifle Association (NRA) to sue the commonwealth over a new gun safety law, a law Day sponsored in the House of Representatives and Governor Maura Healey signed last month. The NRA announced plans to challenge the “egregious” and “freedom-restricting” statute, which slightly expands the state’s assault weapons ban and red flag law—a law that lets courts temporarily confiscate guns from those deemed a threat to themselves or others—while tightening regulation of ghost guns and gun-carrying in public places. (Other opponents of the law hope to get it on the state’s 2026 ballot for a repeal referendum.)
