In addition Town Meeting encourages other Towns and Cities in the Commonwealth to join us in asking for a material toughening of Massachusetts gun laws. By this Resolution, Town Meeting supports a detailed ban on assault weapons that would be more specific and more complete than existing Massachusetts legislation in this area. Specifically, because such detail is not now part of Massachusetts law, Town Meeting proposes the following language and detailed definitions to the Great and General Court: Assault Weapons Ban: A)Intent. That the manufacture, sale, or possession of assault weapons and large capacity ammunition magazines be prohibited within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. B) Definitions. 1)Assault weapon means a)A semiautomatic rifle that has the capacity to accept a large, detachable, magazine and one or more of the following properties: Only a pistol grip without a stock attached Any feature capable of functioning as a protruding grip that can be held by the non-trigger hand A folding, telescoping, or thumbhole stock A shroud attached to the barrel that partially or completely encircles the barrel, allowing the shooter to hold the firearm with the non-trigger hand A muzzle brake or muzzle compensator b)A semi-automatic pistol or any semi-automatic rifle that has a fixed magazine and the capacity to accept more than ten (10) rounds of ammunition. c)A semi-automatic pistol that has the capacity to accept a detachable magazine and has one or more of the following properties: Any feature capable of functioning as a protruding grip that can be held by the non-trigger hand. A folding, telescoping, or thumbhole stock 2 A shroud attached to the barrel that partially or completely encircles the barrel and that allows the bearer to hold the firearm with the non-trigger hand A muzzle brake or muzzle compensator The capacity to accept a detachable magazine outside of the pistol grip d)A semiautomatic shotgun that has one or more the following properties: Only a pistol grip without a stock attached Any feature capable of functioning as a protruding grip that can be held by the non-trigger hand A folding, telescoping, or thumbhole stock A fixed magazine capacity in excess of five rounds An ability to accept a detachable magazine e)Any shotgun with a revolving cylinder f)Any conversion kit, part, or combination of parts from which an assault weapon can be assembled g)The above prohibitions shall include, but not be limited to, the following assault weapon models: AK, AKM, AKS, AK-47, ARM, MAK90, MISR, NHM 90, NHM 91,SA 85, SA 93, VEPR AR-10 AR-15, BUSHMASTER XM 15, ARMALITE M15, OLYMPIC ARMS PCR AR 70 CALICO LIBERTY DRAGUNOV SVD SNIPER RIFLE, DRAGUNOV SVU FABRIQUE NATIONAL FN/FAL, FN/LAR, FNC HI-POINT CARBINE HK-91, HK 93, HK 94, HK PSG 1 KEL-TEC SUB RIFLE SAIGA SAR 8, SAR 4800 SKS with detachable magazine SLG 95 SLR 95, SLR 96 STEYR AUG STURM, RUGER MINI-14 3 TAVOR THOMPSON 1927, THOMPSON M1, THOMPSON 1927 Commando UZI, GALIL, UZI SPORTER, GALIL SPORTER, GALIL SNIPER RIFLE (GALATZ) BARRETT 50 mm.
