What is the legal limit for ammunition capacity in magazines within the District of Columbia?

  1. There is no limit

  2. 10 rounds

  3. 15 rounds

  4. 20 rounds

The correct answer is: 10 rounds

In the District of Columbia, the legal limit for ammunition capacity in magazines is 10 rounds. This limit was put in place in 2013 by the Firearms Safety Amendment Act, in an effort to reduce the number of gun-related deaths and injuries in the city. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they all exceed the 10 round limit. Although the actual limit may vary by state or city, it is important for gun owners to be aware of and follow these regulations to ensure the safety of themselves and others.
