Ban on .50 Caliber Rifles and Stricter Gun Rules for Cartels.
This bill prohibits the future import, sale, manufacture, and possession of new .50 caliber rifles, though current owners must register their existing rifles within 12 months free of charge. The law also targets drug cartels by adding significant foreign narcotics traffickers to the list of individuals prohibited from owning firearms and increases reporting requirements for multiple gun sales by licensed dealers.
