11) The SKS is not            banned by name under the 1994 federal assault weapons ban. Only SKS            rifles that were modified to be defined as an assault weapon under Section            (B) of the law were affected by the ban. Section (B) defines a "semiautomatic            assault weapon" as "a semiautomatic rifle that has an ability to accept            a detachable ammunition magazine and has at least 2 of—(i) a folding            or telescoping stock; (ii) a pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously            beneath the action of the weapon; (iii) a bayonet mount; (iv) a flash            suppressor or threaded barrel designed to accommodate a flash suppressor;            and (v) a grenade launcher...." Legislation to be introduced this Congress            would explicitly ban any SKS able to accept a detachable ammunition            magazine. Unless otherwise stated, the exact configuration of SKS weapons            used in police shootings cited in this study cannot be determined.
