Have you read the meat of the legislation?

I ask because many states (FL is one) have laws prohibiting machine guns, SBR's, etc. but they specifically exempt items lawfully possessed under federal law (e.g. NFA'34).

This bill doesnt include a grandfather clause or exempt legally registered weapons.

(2) Subsection (1) of this section shall not apply to members of the Armed Forces of the United States, members of the National Guard, or law enforcement officers within the scope of their duties, nor shall it prohibit licensed gun dealers from possessing those firearms for the purpose of receiving and transferring them to members of the Armed Forces of the United States, members of the National Guard, or law enforcement officers for use within the scope of their duties.
(3) A violation of this section shall be a Class D felony.
