All weapons become non-transferable meaning you cannot sell your own property and they will be destroyed upon your death.
I wanted to point out that this is all rumor floating around the internet. Until the actual bill is introduced, we do not know that the registration will involve any tax and that the weapons will be non-transferable.

The summary on DiFi's web page says registration under the NFA, with background check and certification of law enforcement. The NFA does have a registration of just $5 for AOWs, so we cannot presume it is going to be the $200 registration. There is also nothing about non-transferable on her page, and it even does mention transferring weapons.

I support nothing in her bill or in her, but we need to not panic ourselves further. The truth is bad enough.
There sure isn't. It was there when it first went up and the last time I looked at her site (which was probably a week ago). I'm guessing she realized it would stop the bill before it could even get legs.

From her own press release 12/17/2012:
“On the first day of the new Congress, I intend to introduce a bill stopping the sale, transfer, importation and manufacturing of assault weapons as well as large ammunition magazines, strips and drums that hold more than 10 rounds,” Feinstein said.
