Exempts state and local law enforcement officers acting in official capacity and persons with firearms registered in the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record maintained by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives.

Exempts any part, combination of parts, or device designed to increase a pistol's rate of fire but that does not enable a semiautomatic pistol to fire more than two shots without manual reloading by a single trigger function.
