So which section of SB281 says, or implies, that the out-of-state resident must have possessed the banned firearm before 10/1/13? Sect. 5-143 requires registration, and there's no delimiting date on ownership in there.
"Receiving" means what it means. It's not a technical term that requires a special legal definition. You can use the dictionary to define it. Taking possession of something not already possessed. And SB 281 restrictions don't apply to grandfathered firearms, so I don't see the issue, unless...

All the Court needs to opine is that burdens on the second amendment, like the rest of the bill of rights, are subject to strict scrutiny. That would in effect invalidate schemes like MD's, as there's nothing "narrowly tailored" or "least restrictive" about the "good and substantial"...
