Keep Illegal Handguns Out of the Mail Act of 2026
This bill prevents the United States Postal Service from finalizing or enforcing a proposed rule that would allow the mailing of concealable firearms. Directly affecting the Postal Service, the legislation blocks the implementation of regulations scheduled for April 2, 2026, which would have changed how handguns are shipped through the mail. By prohibiting the enforcement of these specific rules, the bill ensures that the current mailing standards for firearms remain in place without the new restrictions or allowances proposed in the document.
