AI Summary

  • Adds "machine gun conversion device" to New Jersey's definition of prohibited weapons, defined as any device capable of converting a firearm into a machine gun

  • Expands the definition of "machine gun" to include the frame or receiver of such firearms, parts designed for converting firearms into machine guns, and any combination of parts from which a machine gun can be assembled

  • Makes possession of a machine gun conversion device (when not in possession of a firearm to which it may be affixed) a third-degree crime, the same penalty as possession of bump stocks or trigger cranks

  • Makes manufacturing, transporting, shipping, selling, or disposing of a machine gun conversion device a third-degree crime

  • Clarifies that possession of a bump stock, trigger crank, or machine gun conversion device that is affixed to a firearm would be prosecuted under the more serious machine gun possession statute (second-degree crime) rather than as a standalone device offense
