Which of the following is NOT required to purchase a firearm in Massachusetts?

  1. A valid firearm license

  2. Completion of a firearms safety course

  3. A background check

  4. Proof of US citizenship

The correct answer is: Proof of US citizenship

In order to purchase a firearm in Massachusetts, a valid firearm license, completion of a firearms safety course, and a background check are all required. However, proof of US citizenship is not required. This is because non-citizens who are legally residing in Massachusetts may also legally purchase firearms in the state, as long as they meet the other requirements. Therefore, option D is incorrect as it is not a necessary requirement to purchase a firearm in Massachusetts.
