prohibited weapons; muffling device; repeal
SB 1069 amends Arizona's definition of "prohibited weapon" to specifically include devices designed to muffle firearm noise. The bill clarifies that such devices are prohibited unless they comply with federal law. This directly affects individuals who possess or manufacture muffling devices for firearms, as these would now be classified as prohibited weapons under state law. The amendment does not change existing prohibitions on other weapons but explicitly defines muffling devices as part of the prohibited category.
