Democrats Introduce Ban on Magazines Holding More Than 10 Rounds
15 Apr 2021
Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ) and Rep. Ted Deutch (D-FL) are pushing legislation to ban the sale and possession of ammunition magazines holding more than ten rounds.
A press release on the legislation indicates it would also ban the importation and manufacture of said magazines and authorize “a buyback program for high capacity magazines using Byrne JAG grants.”
Deutch tweeted about the push on Wednesday:
High-capacity magazines aren t used for sport or self-defense. They re used in mass shootings b/c they maximize human casualties.
I intro d the Keep Americans Safe Act w/ @RepDianaDeGette@repdinatitus@SenatorMenendez to ban high-capacity magazines & save lives.

Smith & Wesson, one of largest gun manufacturers in the country, sued New Jersey in federal court Tuesday to stop a subpoena from the state’s attorney general which they say was part of an anti-Second Amendment agenda.
The Wall Street Journal reported that the October 13 subpoena is a move linked to a widespread push from gun-control advocates to target the firearms industry for its marketing approaches.
Attorneys for Smith & Wesson said the subpoena, filed by New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir Grewal, “seeks evidence of consumer fraud relating to advertising – but in reality, it seeks to suppress and punish lawful speech regarding gun ownership in order to advance an anti-Second Amendment agenda that the Attorney General publicly committed to pursue.”
