The bill also clarifies definitions for terms such as "bump stock," "muffler," and "multiburst trigger activator," providing detailed descriptions of these devices and their functionalities.

Additionally, the bill modifies the penalties for violations of these regulations, changing the language to specify that individuals found guilty of violating subsection (1) will be charged with a felony, punishable by imprisonment and/or fines. It also updates the language regarding exemptions for certain individuals and entities, such as those licensed to manufacture firearms or explosives under federal contracts. Overall, the bill aims to tighten control over specific firearms and accessories deemed dangerous, reflecting a legislative effort to address gun violence and enhance public safety.
