Repeal the West Virginia machinegun ban

HB 2959 would repeal West Virginia's existing law (§61-7-9) that prohibited the possession of machine guns. This bill directly affects individuals currently prohibited from owning fully automatic weapons under state law. The key mechanism is the removal of the specific legal prohibition from the state code. If passed, it would eliminate the criminal penalty for possessing machine guns, making their possession lawful under state law. The bill does not create new regulations or exceptions.
