Freedom to Ship Act

This bill would add a federal rule saying motor carriers may not interfere with the lawful interstate shipment of firearms, ammunition, or firearm and ammunition parts and accessories. Carriers could not knowingly refuse such shipments, add conditions beyond federal law, charge more than for similar items, or require customers to consent to sharing protected shipping information. A violator would owe a $10,000 civil penalty per violation to the U.S. government and could be sued by harmed shippers or recipients for damages. Actions by a carrier's employees or agents on the job would count as the carrier's own actions. The bill would also repeal 18 U.S.C. 1715, the federal law that limits mailing handguns and other concealable firearms.
