Question 9 asks voters whether to keep Massachusetts' 2024 gun safety law
Question 9 is a referendum on the 2024 law that expanded firearm regulation (ghost guns, serialization, extreme risk orders, training, licensing changes); a yes vote preserves the law, a no vote would repeal it. Supporters cite reduced gun deaths; opponents call it overreach and unfunded mandates.
