What it does
The Modern Firearm Safety Act would prohibit federal, state, or local governments from requiring handguns to include certain design features—such as loaded chamber indicators, magazine disconnect safeties, microstamping capabilities, or related technologies—that are not already mandated by federal law. It aims to preempt state and local regulations that the bill’s sponsors argue limit firearm availability, increase costs, alter intended functionality, and infringe on Second Amendment rights. The bill amends Section 927 of Title 18 of the U.S. Code to enforce this prohibition across all levels of government. It applies to handguns in or moving through interstate or foreign commerce.
