Relating to the sale or offer for sale of certain firearm devices, and making penalties applicable

This bill relates to the sale or offer for sale of certain firearm devices. Under current law, a person who sells or offers for sale a manual or power-driven trigger activating device constructed and designed so that when attached to a firearm increases the rate of fire of the firearm is guilty of an aggravated misdemeanor. An aggravated misdemeanor is punishable by confinement for no more than two years and a fine of at least $855 but not more than $8,540. The bill changes the restricted devices to only include trigger cranks. The bill defines “trigger crank” as any device or instrument to be attached to a firearm that repeatedly activates the trigger of the firearm through the use of a lever or other part that is turned in a circular motion. A weapon initially designed and manufactured to fire through the use of a crank or lever is not included in this definition.
