The Freedom from Improper Regulation and Enforcement Act would prohibit the federal government and states from restricting or banning firearm magazines based on their ammunition capacity. Specifically, the bill prevents federal agencies from creating rules that limit magazine size and nullifies any existing state or local laws that impose capacity restrictions, penalties, or bans on magazines. The legislation defines firearm magazines as devices that store and feed ammunition into guns, and capacity as the number of rounds a magazine can hold. The bill would take effect 30 days after it becomes law and applies to actions taken after that date. This measure would effectively override magazine capacity restrictions in states that currently have them, such as limits on the number of rounds magazines can hold.
