Key Points

  • This bill, introduced by Senator Risch, would stop the federal government from making or enforcing any rules that limit how many bullets a gun magazine can hold.
  • It would also cancel out any existing state or local laws that limit magazine capacity, meaning states could no longer ban what are often called 'high-capacity' magazines.
  • The policy defines a magazine as any device that stores and feeds ammunition into a gun. It says that no government official can use the number of rounds a magazine holds as a reason to ban or restrict it.
  • If this bill becomes law, the new rules would start 30 days later. This would likely lead to major legal changes in the many states that currently have their own limits on magazine sizes.
