Bill Summary
A BILL To amend chapter 44 of title 18, United States Code, to prohibit capacity-based restrictions on firearm magazines, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, known as the Freedom from Improper Regulation and Enforcement (FIRE) Act, aims to prevent federal, state, and local governments from imposing restrictions on firearm magazines based on their ammunition capacity. Specifically, the bill prohibits federal officers and employees from creating or enforcing regulations that limit firearm magazines due to how many rounds they can hold. It also invalidates any existing state or local laws that impose such limitations or penalties on magazines. The bill defines a firearm magazine as a fixed or detachable device used to store and feed ammunition into a firearm, and clarifies that "capacity" refers to the number of rounds that can be stored in the magazine. The provisions of this bill would take effect 30 days after its enactment, meaning that any existing capacity-based magazine restrictions would become unenforceable at that time. The legislation is essentially designed to prevent governments from regulating firearms magazines based on their ammunition capacity, which proponents argue protects Second Amendment rights.
