AI Summary
This bill would make it easier to mail guns and ammunition. It repeals a federal law that barred mailing concealable firearms, and it blocks the Postal Service from creating rules that ban or seriously slow down mailing firearms, ammo, or their parts. It also says the Postal Service cannot require senders to hand over customer records or serial numbers as a condition of mailing these items.
It applies to cases already in court under the old mailing ban at the time the law takes effect, not just future cases.
- Who is affected: gun owners, buyers and sellers (including licensed dealers), ammunition sellers, and Postal Service operations.
- What changes: the old ban on mailing concealable firearms is repealed; USPS cannot prohibit or materially impede mailing firearms, ammo, or parts, and cannot require sales receipts, transaction records, or serial numbers to mail them.
- When: upon enactment, including for pending cases under the repealed law.
