    Here’s a rundown of the critical provisions of HD 4420 per Gun Owners of America (GOA).

    1. Redefining ‘Assault-style firearm’: The bill proposes a broader definition of ‘assault-style firearm,’ potentially banning most semi-automatic firearms for civilian use.
    2. Redefining ‘firearm’: The proposed definition extends to include stun guns.
    3. Mandatory ‘safe storage’: The bill prescribes storage procedures, mandating guns to be locked away.
    4. Mandatory registration: The bill necessitates the registration of all guns and their feeding devices.
    5. Reporting of parts modifications: Gun owners would need to report any modifications to their firearms.
    6. Serialization of guns and magazines: Guns and feeding devices would need to be serialized.
    7. Ban on under-21 ownership: The bill proposes a ban on individuals under 21 from acquiring or carrying semi-automatic rifles or shotguns.
    8. New requirements for retailers: The bill imposes new conditions for firearms retailers.
    9. Training mandates: New training requirements for gun owners are proposed.
    10. Additional prohibited areas: The bill introduces more areas where licensed individuals cannot carry firearms.
    11. And many more restrictions. Penalties and imprisonment will be imposed on those who violate on some of the new mandates or restrictions.
