Prohibits possession of machine-gun conversion devices

HB 2316 repeals existing Missouri statutes and replaces them with new definitions related to firearms, including clarifying that a "machine gun" is any firearm capable of firing multiple shots automatically with a single trigger pull. The bill specifically prohibits possession of "machine-gun conversion devices" (devices that convert standard firearms into automatic weapons), directly affecting individuals who own or seek to acquire such devices. Key provisions define terms like "machine gun" and establish penalty provisions for violating the prohibition, though the bill text provided focuses on definitions rather than detailed enforcement mechanisms. This bill targets specific firearm modifications, not general firearm ownership.
