02: Revise the 1994 federal ban on military-style assault rifles

Revise the 1994 federal ban on military-style assault rifles – which lapsed in 2004 – and make it harder for gun manufacturers to circumvent the terms of the federal ban.

Under the previous ban between 1994 and 2004, manufacturers were able to circumvent the prohibition through cosmetic modifications to their weapons.
