The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 1170, seeks to amend title 53 of the general statutes by eliminating the existing ten-round firearm magazine capacity limit. This change would allow firearms to be equipped with magazines that hold more than ten rounds, effectively removing the restriction currently in place.

The primary purpose of this legislation is to abolish the ten-round limit on firearm magazine capacities, which proponents argue may enhance the rights of gun owners and improve their ability to defend themselves. The bill does not include any additional provisions or modifications beyond this specific change to the existing law.
