Reinstate the ban on high-capacity gun magazines

Diana DeGette is a lead sponsor of the Keep Americans Safe Act, which would reinstate a federal ban on selling, transferring or possessing gun magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. The bill would also make federal funds available to buy back large-capacity magazines that are already legally owned. DeGette presents the ban as a way to help protect communities from gun violence.

Context: The proposal is not described as enacted. The buyback funding is for magazines already legally owned.
