The above is in its face unconstitutional in that it clearly infringes on the right to keep and bear arms. It would ban stuff one has a right to own and carry. It could achieve the unintended consequence of advancing the Standard Model. Such a law would face a certain challenge in the courts at a time when Trump has been appointing judges to deliberately set a new balance. It is a risky maneuver.
I would count on the descriptions far more than the model numbers. More so, I would not attempt to legislate contested values. It is not free if part of the country attempts to impose upon another.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
