The Modern Firearm Safety Act would prevent federal, state, and local governments from requiring or enforcing rules that mandate certain safety features on handguns. Specifically, the bill prohibits requirements that handguns have load indicators, magazine disconnect mechanisms that prevent firing without a magazine fully inserted, microstamping technology that marks shell casings with gun identifiers, or similar devices designed to perform these functions. The legislation applies to all handguns that are manufactured, shipped, or transported in interstate or foreign commerce, effectively creating a nationwide restriction on these types of firearm safety regulations. No specific funding amounts or implementation timelines are specified in the bill. The measure was introduced by Representative Darrell Issa and ten co-sponsors in August 2024 and was referred to the House Judiciary Committee.
