Plain-English Summary

This proposal would prevent shipping companies and transportation services from refusing to carry firearms or ammunition based on their own policies against handling weapons. It would protect gun manufacturers, dealers, and individual gun owners from being denied shipping services that other customers can access. The bill aims to ensure that common carriers treat firearm shipments the same way they treat other legal goods.
