FIRE Act

This legislation, known as the Freedom from Improper Regulation and Enforcement Act, seeks to eliminate all capacity-based restrictions on firearm magazines across the United States. It explicitly prohibits any officer or employee of the Federal Government from prescribing or enforcing regulations that limit or prohibit firearm magazines based on their ammunition capacity. Furthermore, the bill declares that any State or local law imposing limitations, prohibitions, or penalties related to firearm magazine capacity shall have no force or effect, thereby preempting such regulations nationwide. The Act also provides clear definitions for "firearm magazine" as a device used to store and feed ammunition, and "capacity" as the number of rounds it can hold. These provisions are designed to ensure a uniform approach to firearm magazine regulations, taking effect 30 days after enactment.
