Streamlining Handgun Regulations: Ending Additional Feature Requirements

This act aims to standardize handgun regulations across the United States. It means states and local governments will be prohibited from imposing additional design requirements on handguns that are not already mandated by federal law. For citizens, this could mean a wider selection of handguns and potentially lower prices, as manufacturers won't need to comply with varying, often costly, local standards.
Key points
Prohibits states and local governments from imposing additional handgun design requirements beyond federal law.
Aims to increase handgun availability for law-abiding citizens and potentially lower prices by standardizing regulations.
Prevents requirements for features like loaded chamber indicators, magazine-out-of-battery firing prevention, or cartridge casing identification systems.
