Plain-English Summary

This bill would allow the Consumer Product Safety Commission to set and enforce safety standards for firearms like pistols and revolvers, which are currently exempt from the agency's oversight. Gun manufacturers would need to comply with these safety standards, similar to how other consumer products are regulated. The change would give the federal government a new tool to address firearm safety issues, though it does not restrict who can own guns or how they can be used.
