Is UPS really banning gun shipments? Or is this a scam?

UPS would face massive fines for shipping illegal firearms. That's why they cancelled the account for Ghost Guns.

The problem with that reasoning is those weren't illegal. Biden's ATF might have pressured them and they quickly caved though.

If they KNEW they were shipping them sure. People ship stuff illegally every day through the network. No way for ups to know.

Next month UPS will start shipping them again, but with a surcharge for some made up BS. Just like when they made handguns go next day.

I’m beginning to wonder if it’s a pandemic of stupidity.

The shipping handguns by Next Day Air happened because of what happened at my Hub a long time ago. A part-time supervisor stole 160 handguns from a certain manufacturer, I think he was tossing them over a fence. He was caught selling them in a local apartment complex. The policy changed shortly after that.

How come it is always the part time supervisor..

I always thought it was because of the better tracking. Also more revenue.

it's because they want it in the system for the least amount of time for it to go missing, of all the things to go missing a handgun is the biggest headache.

People need to understand that it's not UPS. It's the ATF and the federal government. FedEx also doesn't mess around with Ghost Guns. Here's an article from a legitimate news source

UPS Has New Ghost Gun Shipping Rules That Could Disrupt the Industry

UPS confirmed to VICE News that it has updated its shipping policy to comply with the Biden administration’s new rules on ghost guns.

www.vice.com

UPS said it will “deliver firearms that are legally in transit,” but they “do not intend to seize or destroy goods unless a shipper intentionally or repeatedly violates UPS policy or federal regulations.”

"A FedEx spokesperson said the company last year “implemented even stricter requirements than required by law for the shipment of firearms through our networks.”

“FedEx prohibits customers from tendering specific firearm accessories such as bump fire stocks, rapid-fire trigger activators, unserialized firearms or ‘ghost guns’ and any other firearms manufactured using 3D printing,” the FedEx statement said. “As federal, state and local laws change, we will comply with those new regulations as well to protect the safety of our team members and the communities that we serve.”

Forcing private industry to execute law enforcement powers, particularly without any compensation, is fascist. It's a "takings" violation of the 4th amendment, and has been rampant over the last two years.

Just buy your ghost firearms locally so they don't have to be shipped through UPS. Problem solved.

I can just make my own like the guy who killed the PM in Japan. The problem I want solved is government taking private property for their own purposes without just compensation or due process. If you don't care about those things, you are part of the problem.

You can't legally buy a functional ghost gun. You buy parts and have to finish it yourself (which requires some skill and machining). Those guns would be legal for you to own but you could never sell to anyone else.

The government is not taking your guns!

 

[Yolo]

Let's all get together and rally at UPS Headquarters. That will show them.

 

[zubenelgenubi]

No, they are taking UPS's time effort and resources to enforce their unconstitutional rules. It's not just UPS, and It's not just this issue. We are moving towards where there is no difference between government enforcement and private industry, ie fascism.

If they stop bullets might help. A while back had a package of bullets break open and 556 rounds stuck in the rollers on the the belt.

I thought security was trying to entrap me one day when a box of ammo that just happened to fit my rifle busted open in my car.
