Restricts gun access model confidence 90%

Bans manufacture, transport, sale and possession of pistol converters and convertible pistols (by redefining them as machine guns), so fewer such devices in circulation and less ability to convert semi-automatic pistols into automatic fire.

Any person who manufactures or causes to be manufactured any machine-gun, pistol converter, assault weapon, large capacity ammunition feeding device or disguised gun is guilty of a class D felony.

Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds pistol converters and convertible pistols (semi-automatic pistols easily altered into machine guns) to the definition of machine guns, makes their manufacture, transport, shipping and disposition class D felonies, and requires the state police to publish a list of such pistols. Exemptions are provided only for military, law enforcement and licensed dealers. This directly restricts access to these firearm accessories and modifications under the firearms topic.
