What this bill would do

This bill, titled the "Firearm Safety Act of 2026," seeks to amend the Consumer Product Safety Act. The primary goal is to remove the specific exclusion that currently keeps pistols, revolvers, and other firearms out of the definition of a consumer product. By making this change, the bill would allow the Consumer Product Safety Commission to issue safety standards for these articles. This would essentially expand the scope of what the Commission can regulate regarding safety standards.
