Congress.gov shows H.R.1808 passed the House 217-213, then was received in the Senate and referred to Judiciary on August 1, 2022. Its CRS summary says the bill would criminalize import, sale, manufacture, transfer, or possession of a large capacity ammunition feeding device and would prohibit sale or transfer of grandfathered LCAFDs.

A House-passed bill would have banned sale/transfer of large-capacity ammunition feeding devices, but it did not become law and stopped after Senate referral.

Congress.gov lists H.R.1186 as Introduced, with latest House action ordered reported 23-16. The CRS summary says it would create a criminal offense for import, sale, manufacture, transfer, or possession of a large capacity ammunition feeding device and prohibit sale or transfer of grandfathered devices.

A direct high-capacity-magazine bill advanced in committee but remained only introduced, so the promised federal ban was not enacted.

Congress.gov records H.R.3355 as Public Law 103-322 and summarizes Section 110103 as prohibiting transfer or possession of a large capacity ammunition feeding device, with exceptions.

The earlier federal magazine restriction predates Clark’s federal service and is not evidence that she fulfilled this later promise; subsequent repeal/expiration left later proposals necessary.
