I'd say it's highly unlikely. Where are you hearing these rumors?

I haven't heard anything credible about specific handgun calibers being banned.

There are bills in the U.S. House of Representatives that would ban .50 caliber rifles and require additional harassment of firearms owners (background checks and registration). Neither is going to go anywhere in the foreseeable future.

You can get up-to-date, credible information about legislation at the National Rifle Association Institute for Legislative Action web site: http://www.nra-ila.org/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
