Keep Americans Safe Act

Bans the import, sale, manufacture, transfer, and possession of ammunition magazines and similar devices that hold more than 15 rounds, with clear exceptions for qualified law enforcement officers and certain government and licensed entities. It defines what counts as a “large capacity ammunition feeding device” and excludes tubular devices made only for .22 caliber rimfire ammunition.

Updates federal law so these devices can be seized and forfeited if involved in violations, aligns penalties by cross‑reference, and lets states and localities use Byrne Justice Assistance Grant funds to compensate people who surrender prohibited devices through buybacks. A severability clause ensures the rest of the law stands if one part is struck down.
