You could also call this:

"Firearms licence holders must get a permit to make certain arms items."

Illustration for Arms Bill

If you have a firearms licence and want to make a certain type of arms item for yourself, this rule applies to you. You need to get a permit before making a pistol, restricted weapon, or pistol carbine conversion kit. If you do not get a permit and do not have a good reason, you can be punished with up to 7 years in prison.
