Sure. The bill deals with devices that eject a projectile less than 500 feet a second. With your normal rifle like a .30-06 or a .222, for example, I think those velocities are in excess of 2,000 feet per second, so we're talking orders of magnitude difference between the two. One is very much a firearm, a .30-06, for example, and is capable of great harm if used improperly; whereas these devices we're talking about, at less than 500 feet per second, while they have to be used safely and somebody can be harmed if shot at very close range, as I said are orders of magnitude different from a true firearm.
