SEMIAUTOMATIC FIREARM
“Semiautomatic firearm” means a firearm that is not a machine gun
and that, upon initiating the firing sequence, fires the first chambered
cartridge and uses a portion of the energy of the firing cartridge to extract
the expended cartridge case, chamber the next round, and prepare the
firing mechanism to fire again, and requires a separate pull, release, push,
or initiation of the trigger to fire each cartridge.
“Semiautomatic firearm” includes a semiautomatic rifle,
semiautomatic shotgun, or semiautomatic handgun.
