Article here. Text of ban here. It essentially turns them into MGs. You’ve got a year to register them as Destructive Devices and then limits transfer solely to what’s on the registry. No new ones can be added after the year amnesty period. Separately, it also establishes multiple purchase reporting for all firearms. |

Guns that specifically use the .50 BMG were banned in California years ago. No crime was ever committed with one. Someone convinced the governor that one could be used to down an airliner. The great Tony Barrett created the California.502 as a big F-you to the state. Other .50 cal guns are still legal but that’s a bit besides the point. Mexico needs to deal with their problems on their own. Besides what would stop the cartels from building their own factories? Let’s hope this garbage ends up where it belongs. In the garbage. |

| I really don’t think about buying a .50 until they talk about banning them. |
