This video is well worth the watch. A few highlights:
Anything that can accept more than 10 rounds or could accept a magazine that holds more than 10 rounds will be banned.
You will not be able to sell, transfer of give banned guns to anyone. That means that in 1 generation no more AW's. If you are a collector, you are screwed.
All grandfathered weapons will become NFA weapons. That stands for National Firearm Act and means that anything they call a AW would be treated just like a machine gun, a silencer, a SBR or a DD. There is a $200 tax stamp from the BATFE that is needed for each NFA firearm and some states like mine requite a $10 fee per year. If you fail to register or pay the yearly fee, you are a instant felon and looking at a minimum 10 year sentence in a federal pen. They can come and inspect NFA weapons at any time of the day or night. If you can't produce them, you are an instant felon. You have to write the BATFE and request permission to transport a NFA firearm across state lines. It usually takes them 4-6 months to grant this permission.
If they treat them like machine guns, it will be a felony to have ammunition near the firearm.
In addition to registering the make, model and serial number, you will have to go through a background check, submit fingerprint cards, etc. for EACH weapon. It gets worse. You will need your local sheriffs sign off to own your own firearms, and a anti-gun sheriff could unilaterally ban all AW's in their area by refusing to sign.
Then there are trusts, and it might be a really good idea to put your firearms in a trust, as a trust outlives you and gets rid of a lot of requirements. I'm pretty sure you don't need the sheriff sign off if it's a trust.
