On Thursday, February 27th, the Senate Judiciary Committee voted to advance Senate Bill 308 and Senate Bill 401. Thank you to all NRA Members and Second Amendment supporters that contacted the Committee to urge their opposition.
SB308, as introduced, would have expanded the existing ban on standard capacity magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds to apply to all firearms, not just pistols. This bill was amended in committee and will now impose a ban on magazines capable of holding more than 30 rounds for rifles and shotguns.
SB401 would have prohibited the possession of any firearm capable of firing ammunition of 50 caliber or higher. SB401 was amended in committee to exclude shotguns from the proposed ban and would now also provide an exception for firearms covered by the ban that are legally registered as of the effective date of the bill.
