Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds auto-sear-like devices (intended to convert handguns to machine guns) to the Penal Code §46.05 list of prohibited weapons whose knowing possession, manufacture, transport, repair or sale is a felony, thereby imposing new restrictions on these accessories. The deletion of 'or' is purely grammatical to accommodate the new subparagraph and has no substantive effect on the law's scope.
