Firearm Safety Act of 2025
The Firearm Safety Act of 2025 removes an existing exemption that prevents the Consumer Product Safety Commission from regulating firearms as consumer products. By amending the Consumer Product Safety Act, the bill allows the commission to apply its standard safety rules to guns, similar to how it regulates other household items. This change directly affects manufacturers and sellers of firearms by potentially subjecting them to federal safety standards and testing requirements. The legislation does not alter existing gun laws or create new bans, but rather changes the regulatory framework under which firearm safety is overseen.
