Gov. Maura Healey (D-Mass.) implemented a new gun law on Wednesday, weeks before the gun control legislation was initially expected to go into effect amid opposition from gun rights advocates.
According to Fox News, the new gun control legislation was passed by state lawmakers in July and was initially going to take effect on October 23, 90 days after Healey signed the bill into law. However, the Democratic governor’s decision to immediately implement the law on Wednesday has prevented a potential temporary suspension of the law, which has been petitioned by gun rights advocates.
The state’s definition of “assault weapons” will now not only include guns typically considered by gun control advocates as “assault weapons” but will also include other guns that function in a similar manner. The law also bans the possession, sale, or transfer of “assault-style” weapons and large-capacity feeding devices.
