Bill Summary · HB 6013

Legislative bill overview

HB 6013 would regulate or restrict bump-fire stocks—devices that enable semi-automatic firearms to fire at rates approaching fully automatic weapons. The bill was introduced in the Florida House but died in the Criminal Justice Subcommittee after being indefinitely postponed in May 2025. The specific regulatory mechanism (ban, licensing, registration, etc.) cannot be confirmed from the action history provided.

Why is this important

Bump-fire stocks became a focal point in gun policy debates following their use in the 2017 Las Vegas shooting. The debate reflects broader tensions between firearm regulation advocates who view these devices as circumventing automatic weapon restrictions and gun rights supporters who argue regulations infringe on constitutional protections. Florida's legislative response signals ongoing state-level disagreement on this issue.

Potential points of contention

  • Constitutional interpretation: Disagreement over whether bump-stock regulation violates Second Amendment protections or represents reasonable firearm regulation
  • Effectiveness vs. enforcement: Questions about whether restricting one accessory meaningfully reduces harm or simply addresses a symptom while ignoring underlying issues
  • Federalism and consistency: State-level restrictions create complications when federal policy differs; some states have banned bump stocks while others have not
