💬 Massachusetts governor signs bill cracking down on hard-to-trace 'ghost guns'
The law expands the state’s extreme risk protective order law — also known as the red flag law — by authorizing health care professionals and others who interact regularly with people in crisis to petition a court to suspend a person's right to possess or carry a gun to protect themselves & others.
The law also prohibits the possession of firearms by non-law-enforcement people at schools, polling locations & government buildings and imposes strict penalties for the possession of modification devices, such as Glock switches, which supporters of the law say convert an otherwise legal firearm into a fully automatic firearm.
The law also requires those applying for a license to carry firearms to demonstrate a basic understanding of safety principles through a standardized exam and live fire training, and provides local licensing authorities with relevant mental health information of pending applicants.
