Restricts gun access model confidence 90%

(b) Is modified by a conversion kit, a tool, an accessory, or a device that is used to alter the rate of fire of the firearm to mimic automatic weapon fire or that is used to increase the rate of fire to a faster rate than is possible for a person to fire such firearm unassisted by a conversion kit, a tool, an accessory, or a device by a single pull of the trigger.

Why the model tagged it this way: The bill substantively addresses firearms by broadening the machine gun definition to cover bump-stock-like or rapid-fire modifications (a weapon-accessory restriction) and by assigning a specific felony ranking to bump-fire stock offenses (other). These changes increase restrictions on such accessories and related prohibited acts. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
