Strengthens State's assault weapons ban.

This bill would add .50 BMG rifles to New Jersey's list of prohibited assault weapons under the existing ban. It directly affects owners of center-fire rifles capable of firing .50 BMG ammunition, who would no longer be permitted to possess them. The key change modifies the legal definition of "destructive device" to specifically include these rifles, expanding the current ban's scope. The bill is currently in committee and has not yet been enacted.
