Bill > HB2959

This bill proposes to completely repeal section §61-7-9 of the West Virginia Code, which currently makes it unlawful to possess a machine gun (a fully automatic firearm that continues to fire multiple rounds as long as the trigger is pressed and ammunition is available). By eliminating this section of the law, the bill would remove existing legal restrictions on machine gun possession in West Virginia. The bill is straightforward in its approach, simply striking the entire existing statute without providing alternative language or creating new regulations. This means that if passed, individuals in West Virginia would no longer be prohibited from owning machine guns under state law, though federal regulations regarding machine gun ownership would still apply. The repeal represents a significant change to existing firearms regulations in the state, potentially expanding gun ownership rights for West Virginia residents.
