Expands the definition of 'machine gun' by removing the 'two shots' threshold and newly defines and criminalizes possession, manufacture, transport, repair or sale of machine gun conversion devices (bump stocks and similar), so more restrictions on these accessories.
"Machine gun" means any firearm that is capable of shooting more than one shot [deleted: two shots] automatically, without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends Texas Penal Code to broaden the machine-gun definition (by striking the two-shot minimum) and to add machine-gun conversion devices as a new prohibited item under the existing ban on unregistered NFA weapons, with a matching affirmative defense for registered items. This directly restricts access to and possession of these firearm accessories under the firearms topic; no other listed topics are substantively addressed.
