Massachusetts Sued Over Gun Laws

Massachusetts has some of the most strict gun laws in the country. Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey last year implemented a ban on guns that are made to look like AR-15s. Before that, ARs were banned in 1998. The lawsuit seeks to make Healey’s “copycat ban” unenforceable.

Last July, Healey informed gun sellers and manufacturers that a “copy” or “duplicate” gun that looks like an AR-15 or AK-47 would not be legal in the state. The lawsuit says it is an unfair ban because other states allow the guns.

The National Rifle Association helped file the lawsuit.
