What is the maximum capacity for a magazine under Massachusetts law?

  1. 10 rounds

  2. 15 rounds

  3. 20 rounds

  4. There is no limit

The correct answer is: 10 rounds

In Massachusetts, the law restricts the capacity of magazines for firearms to a maximum of 10 rounds. This regulation is part of the state's efforts to enhance public safety and regulate the types of firearms and accessories that can be legally owned and used. By limiting magazine capacity, the legislation aims to minimize the potential for mass shootings and other violent incidents that can arise from the use of firearms with high-capacity magazines. Other choices suggest higher limits or no limit at all, which do not align with the current stipulations specified in Massachusetts gun laws regarding magazine capacity.
