Bill overview
This bill restricts the sale and transfer of ‘machinegun-convertible pistols’ – semiautomatic pistols with a specific trigger bar that can be easily modified into fully automatic machineguns – by licensed firearms dealers. It defines key terms like ‘machinegun-convertible pistol’ and ‘pistol converter,’ and establishes escalating penalties for violations, including fines and potential license revocation. The bill also modifies existing laws to include these pistols within the definition of ‘machineguns’ and allows certain modified pistols to be added to the Department of Justice’s roster of unsafe handguns, streamlining the testing process.
