Read carefully, Aaron, particularly at the end. I thought the same as you at first. Everything in brackets is on the books, has been since the sixties. All of the bracketed text is being replaced by the ALL CAPS text immediately following it (or is being removed entirely). It does exactly what Wayne says it does, IF it passes and the all caps text replaces the bracketed text.

Furthermore, it essentially says that mere possession is a felony; proof of previous attacks or propensity is not needed to move forward with prosecution.
