What is the proposed solution for addressing existing high-capacity magazines according to Feinstein's legislation?

According to the 'Keep Americans Safe Act,' Feinstein proposes using federal funds to buy back high-capacity magazines. This would provide an incentive for individuals to voluntarily surrender these magazines, aiming to reduce their availability on the streets.
