The purpose of this legislation is to update federal firearms laws to better reflect advancements in technology, particularly regarding less-than-lethal weapons. The aim is to make these weapons more accessible and to provide clear definitions and guidelines for their use and classification. One of the key provisions of the law is the introduction of a new category for "less-than-lethal projectile devices." These devices are defined as those that do not use traditional ammunition and are not designed to cause serious injury or death.
