Assault weapons; possession and transfer prohibited subject to exemptions, actions taken by persons maintaining possession required.

HB 206 would ban the sale, transfer, and possession of specific firearms defined as "assault weapons" in Alabama, including models like AR-15s, AK-47s, and certain pistols and shotguns with features like detachable magazines or folding stocks. It excludes antique firearms, manually operated weapons, and allows exceptions for law enforcement, licensed dealers, and inheritance. Current owners would be required to take specified actions regarding these weapons, with violations punishable as Class B felonies (Class A if sold to minors). The bill does not affect traditional firearms like bolt-action rifles or antique weapons.
