Defective Firearms Protection Act

This bill would change federal consumer product safety law so that pistols, revolvers, and other firearms are no longer excluded from the definition of a consumer product. It removes the part of the Consumer Product Safety Act that currently leaves firearms out of that definition. It also removes a provision in a 1976 law that limits the Consumer Product Safety Commission's rulemaking authority. As a result, firearms would be treated like other consumer products under these laws.
