  1  3    1.  As used in this section, "multi=burst trigger activator"

  1  7 manual or power=driven trigger activating device constructed or
  1  8 designed so that when attached to a semiautomatic firearm it
  1  9 increases the rate of the fire of that firearm.  A multi=burst
  1 10 trigger activator includes firearm accessories, parts,
  1 11 and a combination of parts that significantly increase a
  1 12 semiautomatic firearm's rate of fire beyond the standard rate
  1 13 of fire for a semiautomatic firearm.

  1 17 felony.
