Lets a federal agency create safety rules for pistols, revolvers, and other firearms.

This bill would let a federal agency create safety rules for pistols, revolvers, and other firearms. Currently, federal law prevents the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) from setting these kinds of standards for guns. If this bill passes, the CPSC could then develop new safety requirements for these products, potentially affecting firearm makers and consumers.

What Would Change

Currently, pistols, revolvers, and other firearms are explicitly excluded from the definition of "consumer product" under federal law, meaning the Consumer Product Safety Commission cannot issue safety standards for them. If this bill passes, that exclusion would be removed, allowing the Commission to create and enforce safety standards for these firearms.

Key Provisions

Removes the legal exclusion that prevents pistols, revolvers, and other firearms from being defined as "consumer products."
Grants the Consumer Product Safety Commission the power to issue safety standards for firearms.
