Assault Weapons Ban of 2023

Source: Congress.gov · 20,778 words in original text

What This Bill Does

This bill makes it illegal for most people to import, sell, make, or possess certain types of firearms called semiautomatic assault weapons and large capacity ammunition feeding devices (magazines that hold more than 10 rounds). The bill allows people who already owned these weapons before the law was passed to keep them, and it creates exceptions for law enforcement, military, and certain licensed manufacturers. ##

Who It Affects

- Regular Americans who want to buy or own certain firearms and high-capacity magazines - Licensed gun manufacturers and importers - Law enforcement officers and agencies - Campus police at private colleges - Retired law enforcement officers - People who already own these weapons legally ##

Key Provisions

- It is illegal for regular people to import, sell, make, transfer, or own semiautomatic assault weapons (defined as rifles with detachable magazines and certain military-style features, certain pistols with specific characteristics, certain shotguns, and 100+ specific gun models listed in the bill) (Sec. 3(a)) - It is illegal for regular people to import, sell, make, transfer, or own large capacity ammunition feeding devices that hold more than 10 rounds (with an exception for .22 caliber ammunition devices) (Sec. 3(a)) - People who legally owned these weapons or magazines before this law passed can keep them (Sec. 3(a)) - Law enforcement officers, military personnel, and licensed gun manufacturers can still buy and possess these weapons for their official duties or for testing (Sec. 3(a)) - People who own weapons that were legal before this law passed must store them securely so that prohibited people cannot access them, unless the owner is carrying the weapon on their person (Sec. 3(a)) - All semiautomatic assault weapons made after this law passes must have the manufacturing date clearly engraved or stamped on them (Sec. 3(b)) - All large capacity ammunition feeding devices made after this law passes must have a serial number and manufacturing date clearly engraved or stamped on them (Sec. 3(c)) ##

What Changes

If this becomes law, most Americans will no longer be allowed to buy new semiautomatic assault weapons or large capacity magazines. However, people who already own these items legally will be allowed to keep them. New weapons and magazines made after the law passes must have visible manufacturing dates and serial numbers. People must store legally-owned assault weapons securely if children or prohibited people might access them. ##
