Modern Firearm Safety Act
HR 9388, the Modern Firearm Safety Act, prohibits federal, state, and local governments from requiring certain safety features on handguns sold in interstate commerce. The bill specifically bans mandates for: loaded indicators, magazine insertion mechanisms, microstamping (microscopic markings on shell casings), or attachment points for such features. This directly affects handgun manufacturers and state/local governments that might have proposed or implemented such requirements. The law prevents new regulations requiring these features on handguns commonly used by the public, focusing on removing specific technical mandates rather than broader safety measures.
