USPS Proposes Mailing Handguns Rule

USPS Proposes Mailing Handguns Rule

The U.S. Postal Service has proposed allowing handguns to be mailed for the first time since 1927, following a DOJ memo calling the century-old ban unconstitutional. The proposed rule would let unlicensed individuals mail handguns to other private parties with no background check required on the recipient — eliminating the FFL chokepoint that makes the current system function. The rule is not final and is currently in a public comment period.
