Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This bill would repeal federal restrictions on mailing firearms and ammunition through the U.S. Postal Service. Currently, federal law prohibits mailing concealable firearms, and the bill seeks to eliminate this prohibition entirely. The legislation also prevents the Postmaster General from creating new rules that would restrict or significantly impede the mailing of firearms, ammunition, or firearm components, or that would require disclosure of sales records or serial numbers as a condition of mailing these items. The bill would apply retroactively to any pending prosecutions under the current mailing restrictions. The measure has no specified funding requirements or implementation timeline beyond becoming effective upon enactment.
