A significant new law mandates ammunition registration, requiring manufacturers and retailers to maintain detailed sales records, including caliber, quantity, and buyer information. These records are subject to state inspection, and purchases of 2,000 rounds or more must be reported. This legislation is expected to face legal challenges due to its potential conflict with the Second Amendment, particularly in light of the Bruen decision.
Four northeastern states (New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to share crime gun data across state lines.
