Massachusetts governor implements new gun law weeks ahead of schedule
Fox News
Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey was ahead of schedule Wednesday, when she implemented sweeping gun reform expected to go into law later in October.
Greg Wehner is a breaking news reporter for Fox News Digital.
The Associated Press reported that gun rights advocates were working to gather enough signatures to suspend the law before it took effect. Story tips and can be sent to Greg.Wehner@Fox.com and on Twitter @GregWehner.
But rather than wait for the law to go into effect on Oct. 23, or 90 days after the governor signed it into law, Healey decided to put the law into effect immediately, blocking any temporary suspension of the law being sought by gun rights advocates.
