Bill > S691

This bill, titled the "High-Capacity Ammunition Magazine Ban of 2013," aims to regulate large capacity ammunition feeding devices, which are defined as magazines, belts, drums, or similar items that can hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition, with an exception for devices specifically designed for .22 caliber rimfire ammunition. The bill makes it illegal to import, sell, manufacture, transfer, or possess these devices, with several exceptions, including for federal and state law enforcement officers, retired law enforcement officers under specific conditions, and for licensed manufacturers for testing purposes. Additionally, any large capacity ammunition feeding devices manufactured after the bill's enactment must be marked with a serial number and manufacturing date, and the bill also allows for the use of Byrne Grants, a type of federal grant for crime control, to fund buy-back programs for these devices, with a severability clause ensuring that if any part of the bill is found unconstitutional, the rest will remain in effect.
