New Strategy to Combat Illegal Machinegun Conversion Device Trafficking
This law aims to enhance public safety by cracking down on the illegal trade of devices used to easily convert standard firearms into machineguns. It mandates federal agencies to develop a comprehensive strategy for detecting and seizing these conversion devices, including those produced using 3D printing technology. Furthermore, the act expands the government's ability to seize assets derived from illegal machinegun trafficking.
