Holy cow, this one is bad.

Under the bill, individuals must register with DESPP if they have been convicted of any of more than 40 enumerated weapons offenses (mostly [?] gun offenses) or another felony that the court makes a finding involved the use or threatened use of a deadly weapon. Individuals must register with DESPP for a total of five years after their release into the community. During that time they must keep their registration address current at all times, and they must check in once per year, on the anniversary of their release, with local law enforcement in the town where they currently reside.

So, a guy who gets busted because he stored his gun improperly is now treated like a sex offender.
The bill also mandates universal background checks, calls anything with
one evil feature an "assault weapon," and makes possession or transfer of any magazine holding more than ten rounds a felony. Existing magazines must be registered, and even then, they can be loaded with no more than ten rounds.
It also establishes an "ammunition eligibility certificate" which also requires a background check.
The wording shows great pride in the fact that they're going to be just as restrictive as New York and more restrictive than Maryland. They're actually
preening at the fact that they're racing to the bottom when it comes to the 2nd Amendment.
