A BILL To amend the consumer product safety laws to repeal the exclusion of pistols, revolvers, and other firearms from the definition of consumer product under such laws.
AI Summary
This bill, the Defective Firearms Protection Act, aims to amend consumer product safety laws by repealing the exclusion of pistols, revolvers, and other firearms from the definition of "consumer product." This means that firearms would now be subject to the same consumer safety regulations as other products under the jurisdiction of the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The bill removes the specific exemption for firearms that previously prevented the CPSC from regulating their safety and design.
