Text of the bill is here.
highlights:
Ban on manufacture, sale, transfer, import, purchase or posses "assault weapons" or > 10rd mags.
Within 90 days, surrender, destroy, or transfer to a dealer all weapons that qualify.
Current weapons are grandfathered, no new purchase, grandfathered owners must have a background check and re-register (including new background check) every year. An arbitrary registration fee can be charged.
If you inherit "assault weapons", within 90 days they must be transferred to a licensed dealer, destroyed, or surrendered. There is no option to keep them. This is their mechanism to ban by attrition.
Assault weapons are defined as ANY semi-auto center fire rifle that accepts detachable mags. Full stop, no feature tests for semi-auto rifles. Any pistols with one naughty feature on the list (all the ones you are already familiar with). Semi-auto shotguns with > 5rd fixed mag or has pistol/thumbhole grips or can take a detachable mag, etc, etc.
If one of your weapons is stolen and used in a crime, you are civilly liable for the crime unless you report it stolen in the proper time frame.
Police and military are excluded of course...because only...blah blah blah.
I don't think it will go anywhere, but you never know these days. The brownshirts are definitely swinging for the fences.
