Key Points

- It specifically blocks a plan from April 2026 that would have changed the requirements for sending pistols and revolvers through the mail.
- The goal is to keep the current mailing rules in place and prevent the government from making it easier or different to ship concealable weapons.
- If this becomes law, the Postal Service cannot try to pass this specific rule or any other rule that looks like it in the future.
