Maryland SB334 bans machine gun convertible pistols and related devices, with exceptions for law enforcement and others.

Maryland SB334 prohibits the manufacture, sale, offer for sale, purchase, receipt, or transfer of machine gun convertible pistols. These are semiautomatic pistols that can be converted into machine guns using a pistol converter. The bill defines a "pistol converter" as a device that, when installed, enables the pistol to shoot automatically more than one shot by a single trigger function. The ban includes pistols with a cruciform trigger bar and a polymer notch or other piece of polymer molded into the rear of the pistol frame where a pistol converter can be attached.
