I posted the text of the '94 AWB text. It is largely a collection of either nonsense or blocks the sale of things that have never been used in any shooting.
I'd be more comfortable if the military tried their hand at writing a bill than the politicians (who apparently have far too much ego to hire someone to explain this to them).

The bill may indeed be nonsense, I can't really comment one way or another on that, but it's not unconstitutional. Classes of Firearms are already restricted or banned. Restricting or banning another one is the same thing. It might be a silly thing to ban, but there's nothing illegal in it, as
it's not banning guns as a whole, which from what I can see is the only thing the constitution protects.
