Keep Illegal Handguns Out of the Mail Act of 2026
To prohibit the United States Postal Service from finalizing, implementing, or enforcing a proposed rule with respect to the mailing of pistols, revolvers, and other firearms capable of being concealed on the person.
This bill, HB9003, aims to stop the United States Postal Service (USPS) from going ahead with any plans to allow the mailing of pistols, revolvers, and other concealed firearms. If passed, it would prevent USPS from finalizing, implementing, or enforcing such a rule. This legislation is important for public safety, as it seeks to restrict the movement of potentially dangerous firearms through the mail.
The bill would impact USPS and anyone who might want to mail concealed firearms. By stopping this proposed rule, it would maintain current restrictions on mailing such firearms, ensuring they do not enter the mail system. This could help prevent these firearms from being easily transported across state lines, which might otherwise be difficult to regulate.
As of May 21, 2026, the bill was introduced in the House and referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. This is the first step in the legislative process, and it has not yet been scheduled for a committee hearing or further action.
