H.R.4676

Modern Firearm Safety Act

Introduced·7/23/25

Modern Firearm Safety Act prohibits federal, state, and local governments from requiring handgun design features not mandated by federal law.

The Modern Firearm Safety Act aims to prevent federal, state, and local governments from enforcing laws or regulations that mandate handgun design features not required by federal statute. These features include devices indicating if a handgun is loaded, mechanisms preventing firing without a fully inserted magazine, imprinting ammunition with identifying marks, and capabilities for attaching specific devices or mechanisms. The act asserts that such requirements limit handgun selection, inflate prices, alter intended design, and infringe on Second Amendment rights.
