How long do you have to file assault and battery in Massachusetts after the assault happened?

Assault and Battery, is a felony offense and should be reported as immediately as possible, so that law enforcement can take action to investigate, identify and apprehend the offender. Unless the victim is medically incapacitated, the longer the complainant/victim waits to to report the offense, the more doubt and question can be introduced into the motive for delay on the part of the complainant. Massachusetts has a six year statute of limitations for most criminal charges.

If a person shoots another not killing and is arested on Assault battery with firearm how long can they be punishable?

The criminal laws differ from State to State. Generally speaking, the intent of the shooter must be considered. If the intend was to kill, the crime may be attempted murder, either first or second degree (premeditated for first, without premeditation or deliberation for second) If the intent was to scare the person, and the shot was accidental, the charge may be feloneous assault (at least in Michigan), which is punishable by a maximum of 4 years in prison. In your question you state that the shooter was arrested for assault & battery with a firearm, rather than attempted murder, so I would think the penalty would be that designated for feloneous asssault. Depending on the State where it happened, the penalty can be a number of years. I only know about Michigan law.
