Governor Charlie Baker signed into law Tuesday a bill that will give courts the authority to strip weapons from people who have been identified by their families as a danger to themselves or others, strengthening the state's already strict gun laws, and making Massachusetts the latest state to respond to a national spate of mass shootings with more restrictions on firearms.
Baker, a Republican, signed the 'red flag' legislation at the State House surrounded by Democratic legislators, police officers, mothers who have rallied for stronger gun laws, and a Cambridge Rindge & Latin School student who had been advocating for the bill. https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2018/07/03/baker-signs-red-flag-gun-bill-into-law/SqiPzGFWjxHLcZWqnxMGRJ/story.html |
