President Joe Biden, during his speech to a joint session of Congress on April 28, called for a ban on high-capacity gun magazines that can hold up to 100 bullets.

“We need a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines again. Don’t tell me it can’t be done,” Biden said. “We’ve done it before ... and it worked. Talk to most responsible gun owners, most hunters; they’ll tell you there’s no possible justification for having 100 rounds—100 bullets—in a weapon.”
