Bill > HB05717

This bill proposes to modify existing state law regarding firearm magazines by eliminating two key restrictions: the current limits on ammunition magazine capacity and the requirement for individuals to declare their firearm magazines. Specifically, the bill would remove the existing rules that restrict the number of rounds a magazine can hold and abolish the mandate that gun owners must register or declare their magazines to state authorities. Additionally, the bill requires the state to destroy any existing records of previous magazine declarations. The stated purpose of the bill is to enhance citizens' ability to exercise their Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms by reducing regulatory burdens on gun owners. By removing these registration and capacity restrictions, the legislation aims to provide greater flexibility and fewer administrative requirements for individuals who own firearms and magazines.
