Large Capacity Magazines
At this time there are no federal laws that restrict magazine capacity. However, many states, cities and localities have enacted laws which ban or otherwise restrict high-capacity magazines or clips. Possessing, selling, or manufacturing magazines that exceed these capacity limitations can result in criminal prosecution. The National Center for Firearms Removal can assist by accepting large capacity magazines for removal. Learn more here
