As I posted in the other thread:

I called in support to both my representative and my senator. That said, I see some (minor-ish) flaws with this bill. Look at page 14:
1. "Sawed-off shotgun or rifle" means any shotgun or rifle which has been shortened to any length.
That would seem to cover entirely legal firearms just because they're not as long as they once were--say, cutting a 28" shotgun barrel down to 26" (the minimum being 18"), or sporterizing that old '03 Springfield (I actually have one that's been cut down thus, but is still well within federal limits).

Similarly:
3. "Altered air pistol" means any air pistol manufactured to propel projectiles by air pressure which has been altered from its original manufactured state.
Does that include, say, changing the sights? A strict reading would say "yes."

Just a couple of thoughts. I still think the bill should be passed, but we ought to look to amend those portions, either while it's still on the floor or by subsequent legislation.
