Any LCMs you purchased before Malloy signs this abortion, is grandfathered in. You have until 1/1/2014 to declare you ownership to the DPS, don't know what that means yet.
If you import, offer for sale, buy a LCM after he signs the abortion, you're a felon. If you don't declare your LCM before 1/1/2014, you pay a $90fine for the first offense, felony charges after that.
AWB is expanded to any rifle that has ONE mean looking feature. Existing rifles grandfathered in.
If you don't have a Pistol Permit already and wish to buy ammo, you'll have to get a certificate of eligibility. That certificate is already available, it's basically what you pay for when you get your background check done by your local PD for the Pistol Permit.
Age for buying a rifle or shotgun, increased from 18 to 21. Not only can those who we send to fight our corporate wars of exploration not buy a beer legally, they can't buy rifles and shotguns now.
5yrs from now another bunch middle class kids will be horribly killed and they'll remove the grandfathering of LCM and AW, since they have a list they'll just come "reimburse" us for them with a gift certificate to Dick's or some B.S.. Another 5yrs down the road they'll label hunting rifles or optics as "Sniper Style" and they'll ban anything but double rifles and O/U SxS shotguns. Slippery slope is a real thing despite what any other liberal tells you. I say "other liberal" because I'm a progressive myself. I just happen to believe the 2nd Amendment is a Civil Liberty just like Voting, Speech, Equal Protection Under the Law, Due Process, Freedom of Religion(even though I'm an athiest) etc.
IANAL, so this doesn't qualify as legal advice. If you want to know the real legal ramifications of this legislation, consult an attorney.
