Kaine Co-Sponsors Sensible Gun Safety Legislation

Press Release

U.S. Senator Tim Kaine joined U.S. Senator Bob Menendez and Congresswoman Elizabeth Esty (D-CT) today to introduce the Large Capacity Ammunition Feeding Device Act, a common-sense bill that bans the importation, sale, manufacture, transfer, or possession of magazines that hold more than ten rounds of ammunition and are designed for shooting en masse.

"It's clear from the tragedies at Virginia Tech, Newtown, and far too many other horrific shootings in our nation's history that we must take action to protect our communities," said Senator Kaine, who led efforts to improve Virginia's background check system and curb incidences of gun violence and mass shootings as Governor following the Virginia Tech tragedy. "I'm proud to co-sponsor this commonsense legislation to improve public safety and help prevent future tragedies."
