This bill proposes the repeal of section 61-7-9 of the Code of West Virginia, which currently makes it unlawful to possess machine guns, specifically fully automatic weapons. By removing this section, the bill effectively eliminates the legal penalties associated with the possession of such firearms in the state.

The intent of the legislation is to modify existing gun laws in West Virginia by allowing individuals to possess machine guns without facing legal repercussions. This change reflects a shift in the state's approach to firearm regulations, particularly concerning automatic weapons.
