The 125-page measure would strengthen the state's assault weapons ban, limit where guns can be carried, and crack down on unregistered, so-called 'ghost guns.'

Mark Shean of Plymouth waves a “Don’t Tread on Me” flag during the Gun Owners Action League rally at the Parkman Bandstand in the Boston Common in opposition to HD 4420 bill making its way through the Massachusetts Legislature.

About 200 people turned out for a Gun Owners Action League rally at the Parkman Bandstand in the Boston Common to oppose a gun bill they say goes too far and violates the Second Amendment.

They have a stake in a number of ways. For one, police chiefs approve gun licenses in Massachusetts and would be tasked with enforcing any new regulations. He said there are parts of the bill he supports — like new restrictions on parts that people use to assemble ghost guns at home. But he thinks that issue should be tackled separately.
