Senate Bill 332 aims to enhance firearm regulations in Wisconsin by prohibiting the manufacture, sale, possession, and carrying of firearms that are undetectable by metal detectors or x-ray machines. The bill establishes that individuals who violate this prohibition will be guilty of a Class G felony. Additionally, it prohibits the sale or possession of plans for manufacturing undetectable firearms, with violators facing a Class H felony. The bill also introduces a new provision that makes it illegal to possess a firearm frame or receiver that lacks a serial number, classifying this offense as a Class I felony.

The bill amends existing statutes to include the new prohibition against undetectable firearms and the requirement for serial numbers on firearm components. Specifically, it amends sections 939.6195 and 941.291 to incorporate the new crime defined in section 941.293. The legislation includes exceptions for licensed individuals and law enforcement personnel acting in their official capacity, ensuring that certain professionals are not penalized under these new regulations. Overall, the bill seeks to strengthen public safety by addressing the risks associated with undetectable firearms and unmarked firearm components.
