What is a "assault weapon parts kit" ? Need a clear definition of that one.
What is a "machinegun parts kit" ? And what makes it different than an assault weapons kit ?
Currently semi auto rifles are not required to be registered , so why make an 80% receiver kit illegal ?
This is nothing more than a backdoor attempt of a ban on AR's. Particularly ones that are assembled at home. Just curious, how many deaths have we had with non registered "homemade" firearms ?

Seems to me this targets all semi auto rifles and and pistol length versions. I don't understand the .22 rimfire call out. So this bill doesn't not pertain to , carbine models, or another other rimfire caliber? So .22 is unlawful, but I can have a .50bmg ?
