This bill proposes to amend section 13-3101 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically by adding new definitions related to firearms. The current law, which remains unchanged, defines various terms related to weapons, including "machine gun" and "semiautomatic rifle." The bill introduces new language that specifically includes "a trigger crank, a bump-fire device, or any part, combination of parts, component, device, attachment or accessory that is designed or that functions to accelerate the rate of fire of a semiautomatic rifle but that does not convert the semiautomatic rifle into a machine gun."

The bill clarifies that the definitions of "machine gun" and "semiautomatic rifle" will align with existing federal definitions found in the United States Code. This update aims to address the regulation of devices that enhance the firing rate of semiautomatic rifles without classifying them as machine guns, thereby refining the legal framework surrounding firearm accessories in Arizona.
