H.R. 4052 · 115th Congress

Keep Americans Safe Act

Key: what the circles and colors mean

Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:

IntroducedPassed one chamberPassed both chambersBecame law (gold)Resolution agreed to (full, dark)Failed or vetoed (gray)

Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.

Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.

Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 115th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Keep Americans Safe Act

This bill amends the federal criminal code to make it a crime to knowingly transfer, possess, import, or bring into the United States a large capacity ammunition feeding device (LCAFD).

It permits the continued possession of a grandfathered LCAFD.

Additionally, the bill does not prohibit, with respect to an LCAFD:

  • manufacture, transfer, or possession related to certain law enforcement efforts, or authorized tests or experiments;
  • transfer or possession related to securing nuclear materials; and
  • possession by a retired law enforcement officer.

A violator is subject to criminal penalties—a fine, a prison term of up to 10 years, or both.

Newly manufactured LCAFDs must display serial number identification that clearly shows the device was manufactured after this bill's enactment.
