Referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and in addition to the Committee on the Judiciary, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
H.R. 3033, the Protecting the Mailing of Firearms Act, would allow firearms and ammunition to be shipped through the U.S. Postal Service by repealing the current federal law that prohibits mailing concealable firearms. The bill also restricts the Postmaster General from creating new rules that would ban or significantly obstruct the mailing of firearms, ammunition, or gun components, and prevents the postal service from requiring disclosure of firearm purchase records or serial numbers as a condition of mailing these items. The legislation applies immediately to any pending legal cases involving violations of the current mailing prohibition. The bill is sponsored by a bipartisan group of representatives and has been referred to the House Committees on Oversight and Government Reform and the Judiciary for consideration. No specific funding or implementation timeline is outlined in the bill text.
