A Massachusetts-based gun rights group has made the first moves in what its leader says will be a multi-pronged response to H4885, an omnibus gun law signed on July 22 by Gov. Maura Healy.

The Gun Owners Action League (GOAL) filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts on Aug. 1 regarding the new law’s licensing and training requirements. An official with GOAL told The Epoch Times on Aug. 22 that the lawsuit and a petition for a ballot initiative to repeal the law are the first steps in the group’s plan.
