Senate Bill 332 aims to enhance firearm regulations in Wisconsin by prohibiting the manufacture, sale, possession, and carrying of undetectable firearms, which are defined as firearms that cannot be detected by standard security measures such as metal detectors or x-ray machines. The bill establishes penalties for violations, categorizing the offense of possessing an undetectable firearm as a Class G felony, while selling plans for such firearms is classified as a Class H felony. Additionally, the bill prohibits the possession of firearm frames or receivers that lack serial numbers, making this a Class I felony offense.
The bill amends existing statutes to include these new provisions, specifically adding the prohibition against undetectable firearms under section 941.293 and updating the definition of violent felonies to include violations of this new section. Notably, exceptions are made for licensed individuals and law enforcement personnel acting in their official capacity. The legislation reflects a commitment to addressing the challenges posed by undetectable firearms and aims to align state law with federal regulations on this issue.
