The National Rifle Association (NRA) on Thursday slammed a Democrat-led bill that would restrict magazine capacity and outlaw firearms with a magazine capacity of more than 10 rounds.
"This legislation blatantly violates the U.S. Constitution and U.S. Supreme Court rulings by banning the very types of firearms and magazines most often utilized by Americans for defending themselves and their families," Randy Kozuch, executive director of the NRA’s Institute for Legislative Action, told Fox News Digital in a statement.
"This bill unjustly and improperly places the full burden of the law on law-abiding residents, while doing nothing to take guns out of the hands of dangerous criminals. The NRA opposes this legislation and will fight to protect the constitutional freedoms of all law-abiding Americans," he said.
