New York A00436 amends the penal law to include pistol converters in the definition of a rapid-fire modification device.

New York A00436 amends the penal law by expanding the definition of a rapid-fire modification device to include pistol converters. This change means that pistol converters, which are designed to accelerate the rate of fire of semi-automatic firearms, rifles, or shotguns, are now classified under the same category as other devices like bump stocks and trigger cranks. This legislative action aims to regulate these devices more comprehensively by ensuring they are subject to the same legal restrictions as other rapid-fire modification devices.
