Firearms, to prohibit possession of pistols with parts installed to convert into machine gun

Maddy summaryHB 26 prohibits possessing a pistol with any part or combination of parts designed to convert it into a machine gun. It directly affects individuals who own or handle such conversion parts on pistols, excluding law enforcement officers, registered firearm parts under federal law, and parts that only increase rate of fire without enabling automatic fire. The bill defines a "machine gun" broadly to include conversion parts and classifies violations as Class C felonies. It exempts parts registered with the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Explosives or designed solely to increase rate of fire without automatic capability.
