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.

You both are arguing about this bill as if it has a chance to be enacted.  It's not intended to become law, at least not now.  It's a line in the sand that will be used in future political races.  To what end, only time will tell.
