Frequently Asked Questions

What is the GO SAFE Act and what does it aim to regulate?

The GO SAFE Act, or Gas Operated Semi-Automatic Firearms Exclusion Act, is proposed legislation aiming to reduce gun violence by regulating specific types of firearms. It primarily targets gas-operated semi-automatic firearms, especially when combined with detachable high-capacity magazines, by regulating their sale, transfer, and manufacture.

What types of firearms are exempt from the GO SAFE Act?

The GO SAFE Act exempts firearms that are not semi-automatic, or are semi-automatic but not gas-operated. It also exempts recoil-operated handguns, semi-automatic shotguns, .22 caliber or less rimfire firearms, and firearms with permanently fixed magazine capacities of 10 rounds or less (rifles/shotguns) or 15 rounds or less (handguns). Traditional firearms like single-shot, muzzle-loading, bolt-action, lever-action, pump-action, and revolvers are also exempt.

How does the GO SAFE Act define regulated firearms?

The GO SAFE Act defines regulated firearms by the combination of a gas-operated action and a detachable high-capacity magazine. It focuses on the internal mechanisms' lethality, specifically how gas operation allows for rapid firing and reloading, rather than cosmetic features.

What are the potential implications of the GO SAFE Act for gun owners?

If enacted, the GO SAFE Act could restrict the sale, transfer, and manufacture of certain semi-automatic firearms, particularly those with detachable high-capacity magazines. It also aims to outlaw self-manufactured 'ghost guns' and conversion devices. Lawfully owned firearms before the act's effective date may be retained, but transfers would be limited.
