Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This bill would extend the Undetectable Firearms Act of 1988 for an additional 10 years. The original law, which was set to expire in 2033, makes it illegal to manufacture, sell, or possess firearms that cannot be detected by metal detectors or X-ray machines. The bill simply amends the expiration date to push it back to 2043, ensuring that the ban on undetectable firearms remains in effect for a longer period. The legislation affects anyone involved in manufacturing or distributing firearms, as well as individuals who might possess such weapons. No new funding is required as this is purely a reauthorization of an existing law.
