Ban on Assault Weapons and High-Capacity Magazines with Grandfather Clauses
This bill prohibits the manufacture, sale, and possession of new semiautomatic assault weapons and ammunition magazines holding more than 10 rounds. Current owners are permitted to keep their weapons, but private transfers will now require background checks, and specific secure storage rules apply to prevent unauthorized access.
