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 repealing this section, the bill aims to eliminate the existing legal restrictions and penalties associated with the possession of such firearms.
The intent of the legislation is to remove the prohibition on machine guns, thereby allowing individuals to legally possess these types of weapons in West Virginia. The bill does not introduce any new legal language or provisions; it solely focuses on the removal of the existing law regarding machine gun possession.
