A high-capacity magazine ban is a form of gun control in parts of the United States that bans or otherwise restricts firearm magazines that can hold more than a certain number of rounds of ammunition. For example, in the United States, the now-expired Federal Assault Weapons Ban of 1994 outlawed the manufacture or importation, but not the sale or possession, of magazines that could hold more than ten rounds. Eight U.S. states, and a number of local governments, ban or regulate magazines that they have legally defined as high-capacity. The majority of states (42) do not ban or regulate any magazines on the basis of capacity. The federal ban defined a magazine capable of holding more than 10 rounds of ammunition as a ''large capacity ammunition feeding device.'' Likewise, the state of California defines a ''large capacity magazine'' as "any ammunition feeding device with a capacity to accept more than 10 rounds." Such devices are commonly called high-capacity magazines. Among states with bans, the maximum capacity is 10 to 15 rounds. Several municipalities, such as New York City, restrict magazine capacity to 5 rounds for rifles and shotguns.〔https://www.atf.gov/files/publications/download/p/atf-p-5300-5-31st-editiion/States/atf-p-5300-5-new-york-2010.pdf#23〕 The state of New York previously limited magazine capacity to 7 rounds, but a District Court ruled that that ban was excessive and could not "survive intermediate scrutiny". Most pistols sold in the U.S. are made and sold with magazines holding between 10 and 17 rounds. In November 2013, the National Rifle Association sued the city of San Francisco over an ordinance banning possession of magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds. At the time, no court had overturned a ban on high-capacity guns or magazines. In March 2014, the Supreme Court refused to halt a similar ban by the city of Sunnyvale, California. ==The first U.S. high-capacity magazine ban== (詳細はWilliam B. Ruger, a founder of Sturm, Ruger & Co., is often ascribed with providing the impetus for such a ban. Ruger said that rather than ban firearms, that Congress should outlaw magazines holding more than 15 rounds. On March 30, 1989, Ruger sent a letter to every member of the US Congress stating:
The Federal Assault Weapons Ban of 1993 included a ban on magazines capable of holding more than ten rounds of ammunition. In November 1993, the ban passed the U.S. Senate, although its author, Dianne Feinstein, and other advocates said that it was a weakened version of the original proposal. The Public Safety and Recreational Firearms Use Protection Act, commonly called the assault weapons ban (AWB), was enacted in September 1994. The ban, including its ban on magazines capable of holding more than ten rounds of ammunition, became defunct (expired) in September 2004 per a sunset provision. Attempts to renew the ban have failed on the federal level. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「High-capacity magazine ban」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
