This includes devices such as bump stocks, trigger cranks, and other similar accessories that increase the rate of fire of a firearm.

The legislation also includes provisions for penalties for those found in violation of the law, including fines and potential imprisonment. Additionally, the bill provides exemptions for certain government agencies and individuals, such as law enforcement officers and military personnel, who may need access to such devices for official duties. Overall, Bill 119 s 1076 aims to address concerns about the potential misuse of machine gun conversion devices and to enhance public safety by restricting their availability and use. The bill has garnered bipartisan support in Congress and is currently under consideration in committee.
