HR 3033 United States House · 119th Congress

Protecting the Mailing of Firearms Act

HR 3033, the "Protecting the Mailing of Firearms Act," repeals a federal law (18 U.S.C. §1715) that previously prohibited mailing firearms and related items. This bill directly affects firearm sellers, buyers, and the U.S. Postal Service by removing the ban on mailing firearms, ammunition, and components. It also prohibits the Postmaster General from creating rules that would block firearm mailings or require disclosure of sales receipts, transaction records, or firearm serial numbers. The law takes effect immediately for pending cases and prevents new restrictions on firearm shipping through the postal system.
