they were wanted by those pushing for the strictest laws; many were compromised out in order to get the bill passed.

However the hi-cap magazine restrictions remained in, and currently owned mags with greater then 10 capacity must be dumped. Currently owned assault weapons may be registered, but the 11+ mags must be disposed of.

Not surprising such proposals exist, since grandfathering allows the targeted arms and/mags to stay in circulation - this was a major complaint by both sides on the toothlessness of the original AWBs.
