Ban possession of large-capacity ammunition magazines

Police & Community SafetyGovernance

In Plain English

The city proposes to make it illegal to own high-capacity ammunition magazines within Richmond city limits. This would add a new chapter to the city's laws targeting gun accessories that hold more than a standard number of bullets. If approved, residents who currently own these magazines would need to comply with the new restrictions.
