KEY LEGISLATIVE ELEMENTSThe features listed below are intended to provide a framework from which policy options may be considered. A jurisdiction considering new legislation should consult with counsel.• Strict limits are imposed on the possession and sale of non-powder guns within the jurisdiction (New York City)
• If the sale and possession of non-powder guns are permitted within the jurisdiction, the most comprehensive approach is to define all non-powder guns as firearms, so that restrictions on purchase and possession by minors, felons and other prohibited purchasers will apply (New Jersey, Rhode Island)
• Alternatively, with respect to high-power and large caliber non-powder guns only:o all high-power and large caliber non-powder guns are defined as firearms, so that restrictions on purchase and possession by minors, felons and other prohibited persons will apply (Illinois, Michigan)o all transfers of high-power and large caliber non-powder guns are required to be made through a licensed firearms dealer, and the dealer is required to report all transfers to law enforcemento there is a registration mechanism for owners of high-power and large caliber non-powder guns• Minors are prohibited from possessing non-powder guns unless under direct adult supervision
