Patrick said he spoke today to House and Senate leaders about acting on legislation he has introduced, which would, among other changes, forbid buyers from purchasing more than one gun a month.
The bill has languished in the Legislature for at least two years, but the governor said he wants lawmakers to take it up when they return to formal sessions on Beacon Hill next month.
