Expands the definition of 'trigger activator' to include devices that mimic automatic fire or increase rate of fire beyond stock semi-automatic performance, while adding an explicit exclusion for certain semi-automatic replacement triggers used in competitive shooting, resulting in a broader ban on
"Trigger activator" means a conversion kit, tool, accessory, or device designed to alter the rate of fire of a semi-automatic firearm to mimic automatic weapon fire or to increase the rate of fire to a rate faster than such semi-automatic firearm can achieve when not equipped with a conversion kit, tool, accessory, or device. "Trigger activator" includes a bump stock, trigger crank, hellfire trigger, binary trigger system, burst trigger system, or a copy thereof. "Trigger activator" does not include a semi-automatic replacement trigger, designed for use in competitive shooting, that improves
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends Virginia's prohibition on trigger activators (including bump stocks, binary triggers, etc.) by broadening the definition to cover devices that mimic automatic fire or increase rate of fire beyond stock performance, while narrowing it by excluding certain competitive semi-automatic replacement triggers; the net effect is a wider ban on such accessories, with the deletion of the prior recoil-harnessing definition supporting the expansion of the restricted category.
