Rep. Wied Introduces FIRE Act to Ban Federal and State Limits on Gun Magazine Capacity
Legislative Progress
Key Points
Impact Analysis
Personal Impact
Gun owners would be able to buy, sell, and possess magazines of any capacity nationwide without fear of federal, state, or local penalties. This is most significant for gun owners in states that currently ban magazines over a certain round count (often 10 or 15 rounds), who would gain access to standard-capacity and high-capacity magazines that are currently illegal to own in their state.
“A State or local law that imposes any limitation, prohibition, or penalty in relation to a firearm magazine based on the capacity of the magazine shall have no force or effect.”
