What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Protecting the Mailing of Firearms Act," seeks to amend title 18 of the United States Code.

Additionally, it places specific limitations on the rules the Postmaster General can create regarding these items. These limits prevent certain prohibitions or requirements for mailing such goods.
