Makes it illegal for certain persons to possess or sell a pistol converter or a converted pistol; directs the superintendent of the state police to publish a list of pistols that the superintendent has determined to be convertible pistols.

This bill makes it illegal for certain individuals to own or sell devices that can convert regular pistols into firearms capable of automatic fire, as well as the converted pistols themselves. It also requires the state police superintendent to create and publish a list of pistols that can be converted in this way.

Supporters of the bill argue that it is a necessary step to enhance public safety by preventing the circulation of dangerous modified firearms. They believe that regulating pistol converters will help reduce gun violence and keep communities safer.

Critics of the bill contend that it infringes on the rights of responsible gun owners and may not effectively address the root causes of gun violence. They argue that such regulations could unfairly penalize law-abiding citizens while failing to deter criminals from obtaining illegal firearms.
