Notwithstanding any provision of the general statutes, sections 53-202a to 53-202l, inclusive, shall not be construed to limit the transfer or require the registration of an assault weapon as defined in subdivision (3) or (4) of subsection (a) of section 53-202a of the general statutes, revision of 1958, revised to January 1, 2013, provided such firearm was legally manufactured prior to September 13, 1994.
(P.A. 01-130, S. 3; P.A. 13-220, S. 11.)
History: P.A. 13-220 added “revision of 1958, revised to January 1, 2013” re Sec. 53-202a(a)(3) or (4), effective June 18, 2013.
Section clearly limits the exemptions from transfer limitations and registration requirements to those assault weapons defined in subdivision (3) or (4) of subsection (a) of Sec. 53-202a of the General Statutes, revision of 1958, revised to January 1, 2013, so one must look at the definitions of assault weapon in Sec. 53-202a as that statute existed on January 1, 2013, and only those weapons that fall within subdivision (3) or (4) are exempt from the registration requirement; firearms at issue are listed either by name or feature in subdivision (1) so are not entitled to the exemption from registration in this section. 188 CA 109.
