Massachusetts Firearm Registration Deadline Brings Barrage of Concerns

For two years GOAL has been doing its best to educate and prepare the Commonwealth’s gun owners for the firearm registration deadline that is fast approaching: Oct. 28, 2026.


Most recently we asked Attorney Neil Tassel to give us some legal advice/opinion on the matter that we shared with our members. Despite our best efforts, there are far more questions and concerns coming in from our members than our staff is physically able to address individually.


While we will continue to help our members get through this, we are asking that you bring your questions, concerns, and frustration directly to your State Representative and Senator. They need to experience first hand what their constituents are dealing with. The vast majority of them voted for it – so they should be able to easily explain everything!

And while you are at it, give Maura a call with your questions & concerns. Afterall, she claimed this law was a public safety emergency. You can find the Governor’s Office here: 617-725-4005
