Under current law, possession of a dangerous weapon is a class 5 felony for a first offense and a class 4 felony for each subsequent offense. The bill amends the definition of 'dangerous weapon' to include a 'multi-burst trigger activator', which the bill defines as:

• A device that attaches to a semiautomatic firearm and allows the firearm to discharge 2 or more shots in a burst when the device is activated; or
• A manual or power-driven trigger-activating device that, when attached to a semiautomatic firearm, increases the rate of fire of that firearm.

The bill also provides that a person who sells a multi-burst trigger activator to another person, or who purchases a multi-burst trigger activator from another person, commits a class 5 felony; except that each subsequent violation by the same person is a class 4 felony.

just made my investment worth that much more. Besides they are not (as we know) multi burst. 1 trigger movement, 1 shot. Never going to understand a person not knowledgeable in or on a subject trying to restrict those who do, from owning an item

This worries me:
[*]A manual or power-driven trigger-activating device that, when attached to a semiautomatic firearm, increases the rate of fire of that firearm.

It will be stretched to cover spring changes and trigger/action tuning.

Or worth nothing if they add no grandfathering.

What's a class 5 felony worth?

The current rate of fire of a semi auto firearm is 0 rounds per second. Attach a finger to it and its rate of fire is infinitely increased.

Anyone else see a ban of semi auto guns in this law?

Silly do nothing, unenforceable laws made up by idiots.

I'm confused, did this pass?

No but on Monday, Feb 26 at 1:30PM the Senate State, Veterans, & Military Affairs Committee will toss it around.
