The Bill is prima facie Schizophrenic.  It discusses "... semi-automatic assault
weapons ...." as weapons that are capable of rapid fire to "spray bulles" around the
area.

Take your pick:  A SEMI-AUTMATIC firearm fires ONE round each time one pulls the
trigger; an AUTOMATIC firearm fires repeatedly WHILE one holds the trigger
depressed.

The Bill appears to have been written by someone, or some group of people, who do
not understand the rudiments of the subject.

Someone once said the difference between the right word and the almost right word is
the difference between firefly and firefight.

Ignorant people, writing a law, tend to write bad law.

For the record, IANAL:  Professionally, I do not practice Law;  I just help
Legislators write Laws.

"Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of
opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly
repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and
creates a country where everyone lives in fear."
-- President Harry S. Truman, message to Congress, August 8, 1950

"Civil government cannot let any group ride roughshod over others simply because
their consciences tell them to do so."
-- Justice Robert H. Jackson
While an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court, Jackson was appointed
Chief United States Prosecutor at the International War Crimes Tribunal in
Nuremberg, Germany.

Hey, NSA, the key used was "WireTap!"", the IV was (in hex) "fc4cae6c8b1cad59", the
