A BILL
TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT
Relating to firearms; to prohibit persons from
possessing a part or combination of parts designed or
intended to convert a pistol into a machine gun; and to
provide penalties for violations.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF ALABAMA:
Section 1. (a) For the purposes of this section, the
term “machine gun” means any weapon which shoots, is
designed to shoot, or can be readily restored to shoot,
automatically more than one shot, without manual reloading,
by a single function of the trigger. The term shall include
the frame or receiver of any such weapon, any part designed
and intended solely and exclusively, or combination of parts
designed and intended, for use in converting a weapon into a
machine gun, and any combination of parts from which a
machine gun can be assembled if such parts are in the
possession or under the control of a person.
(b)A person who possesses, obtains, receives, sells,
or uses a combination of parts designed or intended to
convert a pistol into a machine gun is guilty of a Class C
felony.

felony.
(c)This section does not apply to any of the following:
(1)A state or local law enforcement officer while
acting in an official capacity.
(2)A person who owns or has in his or her possession,
control, care, or custody a firearm, part, or combination of
parts that are registered in the National Firearms
Registration and Transfer Record maintained by the Bureau of
Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives or is otherwise
not subject to that registration requirement.
(3)Any part, combination of parts, or device designed
or intended 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 function of the
trigger.
Section 2. Although this bill would have as its purpose
or effect the requirement of a new or increased expenditure of
local funds, the bill is excluded from further requirements
and application under Section 111.05 of the Constitution of
Alabama of 2022, because the bill defines a new crime or
amends the definition of an existing crime.
Section 3. This act shall become effective on October
1, 2025.
