      The Florida ballot measure from BAWN (Ban Assault Weapons NOW) is here: https://bawnfl.org/amendment.html

      It looks like existing owners of “assault weapons” must register them with the government or face mandatory third-degree felony charges for mere possession. No “assault weapons” may be sold or transferred after the date on which the prohibition takes effect. “Assault weapons” are defined as:

      Definitions - a) Assault Weapons - For purposes of this subsection, any semiautomatic rifle or shotgun capable of holding more than ten (10) rounds of ammunition at once, either in a fixed or detachable magazine, or any other ammunition feeding device.

      This seems fairly broad.

        This seems like the beginning of the end for lawfull owners of Americas favorite sporting rifle. The common AR-15 rifle owned by the average American ,is not an assault weapon . It is not select fire which is what defines assault weapons. 1 pull of the trigger equals 1 bullet fired. SEMI AUTOMATIC, I guess to some uneducated people , the civilian version looks scary. I’m sorry but feelings do not over rule Rights under our constitution.
