A standard capacity magazine generally means any detachable ammunition feeding device that is sold with a firearm when it is shipped new from the manufacturer. In some cases, such as modern sporting rifles, the standard capacity magazine is regularly 30 rounds. Some state laws created after the 1993 Federal Assault Weapons Ban, limit the number of rounds a magazine can legally hold, generally to ten or less.
The following states have implemented capacity-based magazine bans: California – 10 rounds, Colorado – 15 rounds, Connecticut – 10 rounds, Hawaii – 10 rounds, Massachusetts – 10 rounds, New York – 10 rounds; New Jersey – 10 rounds (previously restricted to 15 rounds); Vermont – 10 rounds for rifles and 15 rounds for handguns; and Washington – 10 rounds.
The following states have implemented capacity-based purchase and manufacturing bans: Maryland – 10 rounds.
The following cities, among others, also have capacity-based bans in place: San Francisco, CA – 10 rounds; Los Angeles, CA – 10 rounds; Oakland, CA – 10 rounds; Denver, CO – 15 rounds; Washington, DC – 10 rounds; Aurora, IL – 15 rounds; Chicago, IL – 12 rounds; Franklin Park, IL – 16 rounds; Oak Park, IL – 10 rounds; Riverdale, IL – 35 rounds.
A 2022 Ballot Initiative, Measure 114, was voted on by Oregon voters during the November 8th Election. The measure was approved; however, two lawsuits have been filed arguing that the initiative is unconstitutional, and Judge Robert Raschio placed an injunction on the law going into effect.
Following a decision in July 2024 by the Washington State Supreme Court, the State’s ban on ammunition magazine sales that hold more than 10 rounds will remain in place.
