Assembly Bill 321 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 also amends existing statutes to include the new prohibition against undetectable firearms and the requirement for serial numbers on firearm components. Specifically, it updates the definitions of violent felonies to include violations of the new section 941.293, which addresses undetectable firearms and unmarked firearm components. Certain exemptions are provided for licensed individuals and law enforcement personnel acting in their official capacity. Overall, the bill seeks to strengthen public safety by closing loopholes related to undetectable firearms and untraceable firearm components.
