What this bill would do

This bill, titled the Assault Weapons Ban of 2025, seeks to regulate and restrict specific firearms and feeding devices. It establishes new federal definitions for semiautomatic assault weapons and large-capacity ammunition feeding devices. The legislation makes it unlawful to import, sell, manufacture, transfer, or possess these defined items, with certain exceptions. It also sets secure storage requirements for previously owned weapons and establishes background check rules for transferring grandfathered items. Additionally, the bill allows the use of specific grant funds for buy-back programs for the restricted items.
