What this bill would do

The Keep Americans Safe Act aims to regulate large capacity ammunition feeding devices. It defines these devices as magazines, belts, drums, or similar items capable of holding more than 10 rounds of ammunition, excluding certain .22 caliber devices. The bill makes it unlawful to import, sell, manufacture, transfer, or possess these devices in interstate or foreign commerce. However, exceptions are provided for government agencies, law enforcement officers, and certain security personnel. It also mandates serial numbers and manufacturing dates for new devices and allows for buy-back programs using Byrne Grants.
