Here is a thought that came to me right before falling asleep last night; I haven't worked through it yet and putting it to the collective wisdom here.
Here is the question: If you have an AR lower receiver that is disassembled to some extent, or even completely stripped, would that be considered an "assault weapon" under the current proposed measure definition?
My initial idea is that this condition removes at least some of the stated features - bayonet stud, collapsing stock, etc.
What say you?
Similar to what I was thinking the other day; that a lower, stripped or not, is not semi-automatic until you put a semi-auto upper on it. After all, there are bolt action uppers, pump action uppers and so on. The lower is legally a firearm by federal law, but otherwise undefined as to its capabilities.
The other thing is, and it has been a week since I read the initiative, but it also covers the mags - what about those bolt action rifles that take large mags? Yup.
