Vetoed by Governor Glenn Youngkin

Vote Smart's Synopsis:

Vote to pass a bill that prohibits the use of a "trigger activator" designed to make a gun fire faster to mimic an automatic weapon in Virginia.

Highlights:

• Defines a “Trigger Activator” as the following, including (Sec. 1):

• A conversion kit, tool, accessory, or device designed to alter the rate of fire of a semi-automatic firearm to mimic automatic weapon fire or to increase the rate of fire to a rate faster than such semi-automatic firearm can achieve when not equipped with a conversion kit, tool, accessory, or device; and

• A bump stock, trigger crank, hellfire trigger, binary trigger system, burst trigger system, or a copy thereof. (Sect. 1)

• Exempts a “Trigger Activator” from including a semi-automatic replacement trigger, designed for use in competitive shooting, that improves performance and functionality over the stock trigger (Sec. 1).

• Specifies that the provisions of this bill shall become effective immediately upon passage and approval by the Governor (Sec. 2).
