Massachusetts lawmakers reached a compromise on a gun safety bill addressing "ghost guns" and red flag law expansion.

Massachusetts lawmakers have reached a compromise on a gun safety bill addressing "ghost guns" and the state red flag law, aiming to build on the state's existing gun laws and safeguard gun owners' rights. The bill will crack down on untraceable "ghost guns," toughen oversight for privately made, unserialized firearms, and expand the state's red flag law to allow school administrators and healthcare providers to petition a court for an order to take someone's firearms. The bill also prohibits the possession of firearms by non-law enforcement.
