"Under current law, an “assault weapon” is defined as one of 66 different specified firearms, or any other semiautomatic weapon that contains “two or more” of a list of physical characteristics. Under the current bill, a) an additional list of more than 100 new specified weapons will be designated as banned assault weapons, in addition to all of the other weapons captured by the “physical characteristics” test. Also, that characteristics test is being amended to add some new banned military - style features, and also to require an assault weapon to have only one of the listed features in order to fall under the ban. Thus, many more weapons – well over a hundred additional models -- will now fall under the Connecticut Assault Weapons Ban." Over 100 more would be banned. Plus making it so 1 "military-style feature" classifies it as an "assault weapon" rather than 2 will ban them all. The current list is: A folding or telescoping stock; A pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon; A bayonet mount; A flash suppressor or threaded barrel designed to accommodate a flash suppressor; and A grenade launcher Can't really have an AR without having at least one of these, mainly the pistol grip. Plus they're adding additional features to this list. Watch optics, dust covers, rails, lasers, etc. be included |
