Several Democratic members of Congress have proposed firearm legislation that would ban the sale, transfer, possession, manufacture, or importation of magazines that can hold more than 10 rounds.

Several states including New York and California have previously imposed bans on magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. Magazines that held more than 10 rounds were banned under the Federal Assault Weapons Ban of 1994, which expired in 2004.
