US Postal Service Considers Mailing Handguns
Description
U.S. Postal Service Proposes Allowing Handgun Mailings, Sparking Controversy
The U.S. Postal Service is considering a new rule that could permit the mailing of handguns for the first time in a century. This proposal has sparked a heated debate, with twenty-two Democratic attorneys general, including Californias Rob Bonta, arguing against it due to a 1927 federal law. The Department of Justice counters that this law is unconstitutional and that mailing guns is sometimes the only viable option for legal owners. Critics warn that this could make it easier for felons and abusers to obtain handguns, while supporters argue its a necessary measure for public safety. This debate highlights a potential gap in gun regulations, as private carriers like UPS and FedEx already limit gun shipments to licensed sellers.
