Called the Gov's office (DESPP no response) ... talked t one of the governor's aides.

My question to him was:

I need to purchase some of the guns on the AW banned list to compare a rifle that I own that is not on the specific list and does not meet the "characteristics" test as the new law notes that also banned are copies, duplicates, or guns of similar capabilities.

Now, how can I tell if my gun is a copy, duplicate or has the same capabilities unless I have the banned gun(s) to compare it against?

The aide initially thought I was just calling to harass him...he said that the words "copy, duplicate, and capabilities" meant nothing .. I informed him that every word in a law has meaning so this cannot be right. He re-thought it over and seemed to agree.

Now he is checking and will get back to me.

We'll see if the governor is willing to issue me a pardon ... I asked specifically for one....so I would be able to obtain several AWs to use as standards for my comparison.

I imagine their response will be something like "go to a public library and do a high volume of searches on any and all guns that you may want to compare. we cannot give you permission to buy banned guns simply for comparison".
that way you'll also be flagged as a potential terrorist or other form of mass killer because you searched hundreds of guns on a public library computer (which almost always record everything, and flag many suspicious things), and they can act "accordingly" lol
