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 capacity. Specifically, the bill prohibits any federal officer or employee from creating or enforcing regulations that limit or ban firearm magazines based on how many rounds of ammunition they can hold. It also invalidates any existing state or local laws that impose such restrictions. The bill provides a clear definition of a "firearm magazine" as a device used to store and feed ammunition into a firearm, and defines "capacity" as the number of rounds that can be stored in the magazine. These provisions would take effect 30 days after the bill's enactment, effectively preventing government entities from regulating the size or capacity of firearm magazines. The bill is primarily focused on protecting gun owners' ability to use magazines of any capacity without legal interference.
