Democrats in the U.S. Congress have re-introduced legislation that would ban Americans from importing, selling, manufacturing, transferring, or possessing all magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds of ammunition.

U.S. House Democrats on Wednesday barred Republican Rep. Steve Scalise from testifying at a hearing meant to address “gun violence” in the United States.

A freshman state representative in Connecticut introduced a bill this week that would raise the tax rate on ammunition in the state to 50 percent. Representative Jillian Gilchrest announced the proposal on Twitter, explaining that her legislation would raise the price of a $10 box of ammunition to $15. She hopes the tax hike will reduce crime in the state by limiting the “use” of ammunition in Connecticut.
