Offenses Involving Firearms with Bump Stocks
This bill updates the legal definition of "machine gun" to explicitly include firearms equipped with bump stocks. Under this change, using bump stocks with semi-automatic firearms would now be classified as a machine gun offense under state law. This directly affects individuals who use firearms modified with bump stocks, subjecting them to the same penalties that apply to actual machine guns. The policy change clarifies that bump stocks fall under existing machine gun regulations without creating new restrictions.
