Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller made clear there must be no retreat: "One of the hallmarks of left-wing violence and terrorism is its completely pre-textual and disingenuous appeal to civil liberties in an effort to shield its own violence... When the leftist - who does not believe in freedom, who does not believe in civil rights, who does not believe in any ordinary notion of justice - protests that we are violating his rights, understand the he is lying to try to persuade people who are not closely following the political scene that some injustice has perpetrated against him. We must stay the course and be completely unflinching in the pursuit of justice against these enemies of civilization."

Not by name; by description, so it also covers clones. Pistols manufactured before October 1, 2026 are exempt, creating a new kind of pre-ban.

may be propelled through the bore of a machine gun. (4) "Convertible
pistol" means any semiautomatic pistol with a cruciform trigger bar that
can be readily altered by hand or with a common household tool so that
the pistol can be readily converted into a machine gun by the installation
or attachment of a pistol converter, as defined in subsection (c) of section
53-206g, as amended by this act. "Convertible pistol" does not include
(A) any hammer-fired semiautomatic pistol, or (B) any semiautomatic
pistol with a cruciform trigger bar that has a tab or other piece of
material molded to the pistol's frame that shields the cruciform trigger
bar from interference by a pistol converter, unless the tab or other piece
of material can be readily removed from the pistol's frame. (5)
"Cruciform trigger bar" means a component in a semiautomatic pistol
that serves as a linkage between the trigger and firing pin and has its
sear incorporated in a cross-shaped surface. (6) "Common household
tool" includes, but is not limited to, a knife, screwdriver, wrench,
hacksaw, crowbar, electric drill, rotary tool, hammer, chisel, file or
pliers.

If you're snowed in today, use the time to practice your dry fire. Most defensive shootings happen at <20 feet: if your enemies are that close, you need to be <1 second to your first shot and dry fire is the best way to improve draw speed.
