Federal Ban on High-Capacity Ammunition Magazines Over 15 Rounds.
This Act establishes a federal prohibition on the import, sale, manufacture, and transfer of ammunition magazines capable of holding more than 15 rounds. Individuals who lawfully possessed these devices before the law's enactment are permitted to keep them. The goal is to enhance public safety by restricting access to devices that allow for rapid firing of a large volume of ammunition.
Key points
The law bans devices that hold over 15 rounds; current legal owners are allowed to keep their existing devices (grandfathered possession).
New federal penalties are established for the illegal sale, manufacturing, or transfer of these devices after the effective date.
Federal grants can now be used to fund voluntary buy-back programs, offering compensation to citizens who surrender high-capacity magazines.
