Banning .50 Caliber Rifles and New Gun Sale Regulations

This new law prohibits the import, sale, manufacture, transfer, and possession of .50 caliber rifles, with exceptions for government use and already legally owned firearms. Owners of existing .50 caliber rifles will be required to register them. The act also makes it harder for gun dealers to sell firearms to individuals linked to drug trafficking and expands reporting requirements for multiple gun sales to include rifles.
Key points
Prohibits the import, sale, manufacture, transfer, and possession of .50 caliber rifles for most citizens.
Citizens who legally own .50 caliber rifles before the law's enactment must register them within 12 months, without additional fees.
The law makes it harder to sell firearms to individuals linked to international drug trafficking by adding them to the list of prohibited persons.
The requirement to report multiple firearm sales will now include rifles, not just pistols and revolvers.
