Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law places various limitations on the possession of weapons and
weapon accessories, including a prohibition against possessing, selling, or delivering
a firearm silencer, which is a device that muffles the sound produced when a firearm
is fired.
This bill prohibits sale, delivery, or possession of a firearm flash suppressor
except by certain peace officers or persons serving in the armed forces or national
guard. The bill defines a “firearm flash suppressor” as a device or weapon component
that prevents or suppresses a flash that would otherwise result from firing a weapon
that expels a projectile by action of an explosive. The bill also provides that, if a
juvenile is found delinquent or found to be in need of protective services as a result
of violating the prohibition against possessing a firearm flash suppressor and that
juvenile escapes from custody, the county responsible for the juvenile may release his
or her name to the public. Lastly, the bill includes in the definition of “racketeering
activity” violation of the prohibition against possessing a firearm flash suppressor.

printed as an appendix to this bill.
