Protecting the Mailing of Firearms Act

# Protecting the Mailing of Firearms Act (HR 3033) - Summary **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would modify federal regulations around mailing firearms and firearm parts through the U.S. Postal Service. Currently, federal law generally prohibits mailing firearms and certain firearm components.

If passed, this legislation would allow these items to be sent through the mail under specific conditions, changing longstanding restrictions that have been in place for decades. **Who It Affects** The bill would primarily impact firearm manufacturers, dealers, and individual gun owners who currently cannot use the postal system for firearm shipments. It could also affect the Postal Service's operations and policies, as well as law enforcement agencies that work with existing mailing restrictions related to firearms. **Current Status** As of now, HR 3033 remains in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. The bill was introduced by Representative Sheri Biggs (R-SC) and has not advanced to the next legislative stage.
