Los Angeles County supervisors are pushing a .50 cal. rifle ban after a 9mm pistol was used in the January 21, 2023, Monterey Park, California, mass shooting.

Breitbart News noted the Monterey shooter killed 11 people with a 9mm pistol. Two days later, another attacker used a pistol to kill seven in Half Moon Bay.

On February 6, 2023, KTLA reported LA County supervisors are weighing a ban on .50 caliber rifles and .50 caliber ammo in response to the 9mm killings.

They are also weighing a county wide gun registry, a liability insurance requirement for gun owners, and a requirement that gun stores post warnings about “the dangers of firearms.”

.50 caliber rifles are already banned in California.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.50_Caliber_BMG_Regulation_Act_of_2004

“The .50 Caliber BMG Regulation Act of 2004 is a law in the state of California that effectively banned all .50 BMG-caliber rifles from being sold in the state. The law took effect on January 1, 2005.”

Look up 50 Caliber BMG Registration Act 2004

At the time, existing 50 cal had to be registered and it banned future sale.
