Ban on .50 Caliber Rifles and Stricter Gun Sale Reporting Requirements.

This law bans the import, sale, manufacture, and transfer of new .50 caliber rifles for civilians. Current owners must register their existing rifles within 12 months under the National Firearms Act, though this initial registration is fee-free. The law also tightens reporting rules for firearm dealers by including rifles in multiple sales reports and removes liability protection for manufacturers who knowingly arm foreign narcotics traffickers.
Key points
New ban on the possession, sale, and manufacture of .50 caliber rifles for the general public.
Mandatory, fee-free registration of currently owned .50 caliber rifles within one year of the law's enactment.
Firearm dealers must now report the sale of multiple rifles (or combinations of firearms) to the same person.
Manufacturers can be sued if they knowingly sell firearms to designated international drug traffickers.
