Same general assault weapons ban as California etc. There are easy workarounds and it's pretty much meaningless as what defines the ban is the cosmetic features like pistol grip, stock, launcher, suppressor, forward grip, etc. can be easily changed out with law-abiding substitutes. It just means gun nuts can't enjoy some of the fancy furniture on their guns but it doesn't change any of the accuracy or deadliness of what they are allowed to have.
