Existing law defines a machine gun as any weapon that shoots, is designed to shoot, or can readily be restored to shoot, automatically more than one shot, without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger. Existing law prohibits, among other things, the conversion of a firearm into a machine gun. A violation of this prohibition is punishable as a felony.
This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation regarding semi-automatic firearms that can be converted into automatic firearms by a converter attachment.
