Why the model tagged it this way: The bill strikes the existing exclusion of pistols, revolvers, and other firearms from the Consumer Product Safety Act's definition of 'consumer product.' This change would permit the CPSC to regulate firearms under the Act by issuing safety standards, which adds a layer of federal regulatory oversight on the manufacture and distribution of firearms.
