Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Criminal Code  of  1961.  Prohibits  the  manufacture,      
   possession,  and  delivery  of  semiautomatic  assault  weapons, large

   weapon, large capacity ammunition feeding device,  or  assault  weapon      
   attachment may, within 90 days, register the weapon or device with the      
   Department of State Police.  Provides that a person has an affirmative      
   defense  to  an alleged violation of these provisions if (i) he or she      
   otherwise lawfully possessed or delivered  the  semiautomatic  assault      
   weapon,  large  capacity  ammunition feeding device, or assault weapon      
   attachment while in the performance of his or her official duties as a

   to a contract or subcontract with a governmental body.
