What this bill would do

The Banning Unlawful Machinegun Parts Act aims to amend title 18 of the United States Code. It seeks to prohibit the import, sale, manufacture, transfer, and possession of certain devices designed to increase a firearm's rate of fire. The bill also targets semiautomatic firearms that have been modified to approximate the rate of fire of a machinegun. To comply with the new law, individuals possessing such modified firearms must register them within a specific timeframe. This legislation includes specific definitions for semiautomatic firearms to clarify these prohibitions.
