Here is senate bill no. 16, prefiled 11/18/19, to be offered on 1/8/20 - 11/19/19 01:20 AM
As many of you know, the end of the 2019 session of the general assembly was today, and bills can be prefiled today to then be offered on the first day of the new general assembly on 1/8/20
Senate bill no. 16 was prefiled today

As you can see it has an assault weapons ban with NO GRANDFATHER CLAUSE, and mandatory background checks for everything
included in assault weapons are
1) pretty much any centerfire rifle with a detachable magazine
2) handguns with magazines over 10 rounds or that weigh more than 50 ounces
3) shotguns with a pistol grip, or that have a tube that accepts more than 7 shells
4). Threaded handgun barrels
5). Suppressors
6). And a partridge in a pear tree
You get the point. Everything is banned. It also includes a magazine capacity ban, and a whole host or other things.
Possession of any of these items is a class 6 felony punishable by not less than 1 year but not more than 5 years in prison. Sentences for multiple counts are to be served consecutively, not concurrently. So if you have 5 ARs you can conceivably go to jail for 25 years
Again, there is no grandfather clause. If you possess any of these items after 7/1/20 you’re going to jail. You have until then to destroy, render inoperative, turn in, or move out of state any prohibited items
You’ll also notice in the list of the rest of the bills prefiled today, SB 13 which prohibits having a weapon in Capitol square...so enjoy carrying this lobby day because it’s likely to be your last

If you didn’t vote, or voted for a democrat, or some other third party candidate, **I miss Obama** you very much. You’re the reason this **I miss Obama** is about to get shoved down our throats and I hope your door is the first one kicked in
