It directly affects individuals who unlawfully sell, exchange, give away, or possess 20 or more firearms within a one-year period with intent to sell. The bill establishes two specific triggers: selling 20+ firearms to others in a year, or possessing 20+ firearms with intent to sell. This law increases penalties for large-scale firearms trafficking by classifying it as the highest felony level under the penal law.
