The US House of Representatives voted on Tuesday to renew the Undetectable Firearms Act for another 10 years. The Act, which went into effect in 1988, bans any firearm that cannot be identified by metal detectors or airport imaging technology. With the approval of the House, the extension (H.R. 3626) will now go to the Senate for consideration.
“The fact that today’s reauthorization passed by voice vote proves that there is overwhelming bipartisan support for this law.” said Rep. Howard Coble (R-North Carolina), a key author of the bill. “While we have heard that some want to amend the bill when it arrives in the Senate, I urge our colleagues on the other side of Capitol Hill to quickly enact a clean 10-year reauthorization so that this ban on undetectable weapons will not expire.”
