Bill > S803

This bill, known as the "Keep Americans Safe Act," seeks to regulate large capacity ammunition feeding devices by defining them as magazines, belts, drums, or similar devices that can accept more than 10 rounds of ammunition, with exceptions for .22 caliber rimfire ammunition. The bill makes it unlawful to import, sell, manufacture, transfer, or possess such devices in interstate or foreign commerce, with specific exemptions for law enforcement officers, retired law enforcement personnel, certain government agencies, and nuclear facility licensees. Individuals who already legally possess large capacity ammunition feeding devices before the act's enactment are grandfathered in. The bill requires manufacturers to mark these devices with a serial number and manufacture date, and establishes penalties for violations. Additionally, it allows Byrne Grant funds to be used for buy-back programs to compensate individuals who surrender large capacity ammunition feeding devices. The legislation includes a severability clause, meaning that if any part of the act is found unconstitutional, the rest of the act remains in effect. The bill aims to reduce the potential for mass shootings by limiting access to high-capacity ammunition devices.
