A notarized inventory sheet

Like kidnappers do, to provide "proof of life" of the kidnapped victim on a certain date. They take a picture of the kidnapped person holding today's newspaper, with the headlines and date prominently displayed. Don't you watch the movies?

It can't hurt, but be sure to include the serial numbers.
Um... I can buy a paper today and take a picture of it ten years from now.
Kidnappers do that to prove the victim was alive on that date.

But wouldn't acquiring a newly banned assault rifle be impossible for a MD resident after Oct 1

Yeah, but see in this case, I suggested having the photos notarized before October 1, 2013. With some jurors, a notarized picture might be worth 1,000 words. The suggestion was made somewhat tongue in cheek.

Not impossible, but with limited exceptions for law enforcement and the like, it would be criminal.

Here's a question that may or may not have been asked. Will stripped AR 15 lowers be banned by the new law? As long as we don't exceed the limit on evil features can't we still built a semi auto rifle using that platform?

I will defer to those with more technical expertise on this. The basic premise, as I understand it, is that if the state regards it or would regard it as a regulated rifle today, then it will be a banned rifle after October 1, 2013 (and it will also be a banned rifle if it meets the evil-features test).

I can see the TV ads now "Has your rifle been mis-identified by the State as a banned weapon? If so the law offices of Bang & Boom are here to help".

Does anyone have any idea (conjecture or otherwise) about how this will effect semi-automatic NFA firearms?

Could you expand on that question to explain in greater detail which firearms you are specifically asking about, why they are currently covered by the National Firearms Act, and summarize how the state currently regulates them in your understanding?
We gotta wait to see what the end product looks like

Because right now as it stands, any centerfire rifle under 29" in length, is a "Copy Cat" and thus banned, and I don't see an exception for NFA registered weapons.

That statement is true, with respect to any centerfire rifle under 29 inches in overall length.

I would like to read the text covering Para. 7 (Grandfather clause). Can someone direct me to the correct amendment?

This provision now in the bill was not adopted as a single floor amendment. In its current form, it is a combination of one of many changes inserted by the joint House committees, and a tweak by floor amendment. When you put the two together, here is what it says: "A PERSON WHO LAWFULLY POSSESSED, OR HAS A PURCHASE ORDER FOR, OR COMPLETED AN APPLICATION TO PURCHASE AN ASSAULT LONG GUN OR A COPYCAT WEAPON BEFORE OCTOBER 1, 2013, MAY . . . CONTINUE TO POSSESS AND TRANSPORT THE ASSAULT LONG GUN OR COPYCAT WEAPON." A similar provision allows for such firearms to be transferred by inheritance.

Can you imagine how up in arms the lefties in the state would be if there was an effort in this state to impose these restrictions on another Constitutionally guaranteed right, like voting?

I'm just not seeing these things that are said to be in there. It still speaks of registration of grandfathered assault weapons and fines. I see no mention of not requiring training if you already own a handgun. Could someone please post a link to the house document that contains what is being spoken of? The latest version that I see on the legislature web site, still mentions registration.
