The legislation also prohibits any firearms which are substantially identical to any of the above firearms; any semiautomatic shotgun with either a magazine capacity exceeding six rounds, a conspicuous pistol grip, or a folding stock; a semi-automatic rifle with a fixed magazine capacity exceeding 15 rounds. Any magazine with a capacity greater than fifteen rounds is prohibited, even if there is no semi-automatic firearm to accompany the magazine.
A part or combination of parts to convert or assemble a firearm into an “assault firearm” is also forbidden.
Any “assault firearm” not registered, licensed, or rendered inoperable pursuant to a state police certificate by May 1, 1991, is considered contraband.
Any “assault firearm” which was not owned prior to May 1, 1990, must be licensed. Application is made to the Superior Court for the county in which the person lives or conducts business. The fee is $75. The court must find that the public safety and welfare require the issuance of the license and the person must be qualified to obtain a handgun carrying license. For practical purposes, no one will be issued such a license.
Dang.Sure takes the fun out of living.
Since that list eliminates the AR-15’s, M-1, Mini 14, SKS, etc, etc it effectively removes half of the recommendations on this thread.
If you just want a boom stick that’s not on the list you can get a Mosin Nagant out of the crate and 440 rounds of surplus ammo for around $200. It’ll put a big hole in whoever you point it at, and the blast will probably knock down or scare away everyone else in a three mile radius.
