It raises the federal minimum age from 18 to 21. Looking over this....I don't know how you'd go and recruit people for the Marines or Army, unless you wrote some type of waiver....that they could handle weapons.
It puts into effect a mandated universal background check to buy guns....which in most all cases...occurs now.
It mandates a waiting period for gun purchases, but leaves out what the national standard would be. It could be seven days....it could be 30 days....it could be 60 days.
It bans "assault weapons", period. Does it mean the AR-15? Well....it's never been bought by a single military organization....ever, so trying to classify it as an assault or war-weapon....is a problem.
Then it had a sentence which basically said that Congress, states and local governments could enact additional gun control measures. A problem with having the 2nd Amendment still in effect? Yes, and thus making it confusing.
As for passage? As-is? It won't get the votes by House/Senate members to advance to the states.
In fact, trying to say that the 2nd Amendment stays but we are adding another Amendment.....goes against what the 2nd said.
