Bans new .50 caliber rifles for civilians and requires current owners to register existing ones.
This bill would ban the sale, import, and manufacture of new .50 caliber rifles for most people. It would also require current owners of these rifles to register them with the government within one year. These changes aim to tighten gun regulations and prevent powerful firearms from reaching criminal organizations.
Today, civilians can generally buy, sell, and own .50 caliber rifles without federal registration, and gun stores only report multiple sales of pistols and revolvers. If this bill becomes law, new .50 caliber rifles would be banned for most civilians, and existing owners would need to register them within 12 months. Also, gun stores would have to report multiple rifle sales, and known foreign drug traffickers would be federally blocked from getting firearms.
