Quoted:
- What was all this stuff about this law creating "Instant Felons" (I remember the term from the NRA infomercial)? How exactly did that work?
- How did they know who had what? Were these guns already registered? Did they subpoena FFL records?
- How did some people get exemptions, while others did not?
I ask, because there is a similar bill in the House and Senate, and I am curious about the potential impact on a national level. Call me paranoid, or over cautious but I want to be prepared just in case.

First off, Imbro is full of shit!
1st point: SB23 went into effect at the start of 2000. This banned all NEW ar15 and AK type rifles, along with certain others that had a "proturding" pistol grip
2nd point: Previous owners of these rifles had to register these rifles before that date. The other option was taking them out of state.
3rd: They did not have any way of knowing who owned what rifles...only that they were rifles to begin with, but not what type.
4th: If you failed to register your assult weapon then you are a felon. (I think)
5th NOBODY except Leos (surprise) got exemptions.

PS To the best of my knowledge NO ONE has been charged with violating this law.
