"Massachusetts Senate Passes Sweeping Gun Reform Legislation"

The Massachusetts Senate overwhelmingly passed the "SAFER Act" gun reform bill by a 37 to 3 vote, focusing on "ghost guns" and implementing measures such as serialization of gun parts and a ban on Glock switches. The Gun Owners Action League expressed frustration, while State Sen. John Velis added an amendment to keep gun offenders in jail until trial. The bill now requires reconciliation with the state House of Representatives' version before being presented to Gov. Maura Healey.

"Massachusetts Senate Passes Comprehensive Gun Reform Bill"

The Massachusetts State Senate has passed the SAFER Act, an expansive gun reform legislation, with a vote of 37-3. The bill includes updates to laws for ghost guns, assault weapons ban, and red flag laws, as well as bans on devices converting semi-automatic firearms into fully automatic machine guns. The House and Senate versions will need reconciliation, and despite having the lowest rate of gun deaths in the country, Massachusetts aims to address gun violence, which disproportionately impacts Black youth.
