Massachusetts is one of the safest states in the nation, thanks in part to the Act Modernizing Firearms Laws, passed in 2024.
But now the gun lobby is leading a statewide referendum (Ballot Question 9) to repeal the law completely, testing a new strategy to erode gun safety laws. A repeal in Massachusetts would likely inspire similar efforts in other states.
The Vote Yes for a Safe Massachusetts Campaign seeks to protect the existing lifesaving legislation. Join us in voting YES on Ballot Question 9, and ensuring that others do the same.
