FIRE Act

HR 4546, the FIRE Act, prohibits federal, state, and local governments from restricting or banning firearm magazines based on their capacity (how many rounds they hold). It bans federal enforcement of such restrictions, nullifies state or local laws imposing capacity-based limits on magazines, and defines "firearm magazine" and "capacity" for clarity. This directly affects firearm owners who use magazines of certain capacities and law enforcement agencies responsible for enforcing firearm regulations. The law takes effect 30+ days after enactment.
