Mass. AG Clarifies Guns That Are “Not Assault Weapons”

In response to the public outcry to her executive gun ban, Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey clarified her ban in a FAQ titled “Guns That Are Not Assault Weapons.”

Via the Massachusetts AG office:

Any handgun on the current version of the state’s Approved Firearms Roster
Any .22 caliber rifle
Any “Ruger Mini 14 or substantially-similar model weapon”
Any of the rifles or shotguns mentioned under the original 1994 list as exempt
Weapons operated by manual bolt, pump, lever, or slide action
Antiques, relics, or theatrical props
Semiautomatic rifles that cannot accept a detachable magazine that holds more than five rounds of ammunition
Semiautomatic shotguns that cannot hold more than five rounds of ammunition in a fixed or detachable magazine

The guideline also clarifies that guns classified as assault weapons cannot be modified to fire .22 caliber ammunition to make them acceptable.
