“...are now cut off from shipping guns through the carrier unless the handgun is shipped using the expensive Next Day Air service.”

So, basically extortion.

“When will America use the guns they’ve bought?”

Not until when something like they are directly attacked, or Congress is suspended, or President Trump gets arrested or worse, etc. And most likely when answering a call from a respected leader calling “to arms”.

You really can’t shoot your way out of this. You’d have to kill tens of millions of democrats, and in the process of saving America, it would be utterly devastated and left in poverty, and you’d be little different than them. Then there would be a 100 years of bitterness.

It’s not as romantic as shooting Redcoats at Lexington Green, but first you have to go to church, build a good American family, gain *rock solid* control of your city council and school board, then your state house. Then we can impose our will back to constitutional principles nationally.

Short of defense against a direct attack, gunplay won’t get America outta this.

A proud union railroad worker once told me he remembered a crate of Army 1911s getting kicked to the side in loading.

Plenty of people here on FR think private businesss have the right to ignore fundamental individual rights, such as those described in the 1st and 2nd Amendments.

Just thinking out loud here, but I wonder if UPS has a very large delivery contract with the government (i.e., Deep State) that has been threatened.

Yes. UPS ships illegals all across the country.

If the FFL’s banded together and Refused to sell any product to any employee of UPS, they would change their tune overnight

“Gonna really hurt the retailers who sell on Gunbroker.”

Not really. I think the FEDs will tell UPS to keep the GunBroker account so the can arrest shippers and receivers.

Well call your Congress Critters and complain and keep complaining.

Nothing lights a fire under bureaucrats civil or military like a Congressional Inquiry, call the Postal Inspection Service and the OIG, Office of Inspector General.

At the very least you’ll get a new file entry to go with the Free Republic membership entry.

The Democrats Nazis are outsourcing the crushing of freedom to private industry.

Is FED EX still an option for this kind of shipping?

Houston, we have a problem: NO GUNS! FedEx now prohibits shipping of rifles, pistols.

So the fascists really are trying to end-run around the Constitution by using private companies to curtail our rights and freedoms - not just the media platforms and trying to shove electric cars on us for their made-up climate crisis. This page at Sniper'sHide.com lists many work-arounds but we citizens should not have to use subterfuge for honest transactions.

“Some of the employees don’t understand the law and UPS/Fedex rules and think private citizens can’t ship long guns.”

I hear you, the USPS work force isn’t what it was before it became a minority jobs program, 35-40 years ago.

I had one of the new breed tell me once I needed a customs form to send a parcel to New Mexico, sigh.

When I said, “But it’s NEW Mexico”, the clerk nodded sagely and agreed “New ‘MEXICO’ “ in the tone reserved for small children and the slow witted.

The supervisor caught the exchange and had the grace to blush fire engine red and mutter “Just take the package and come see me”, lol.

Time for all gun manufacturers and retailers to *forbid* the purchase of any firearm by UPS or its employees.

Oh bull squeeze, define “vote laundering” please and provide citations.

There were like five allegations of vote tampering by USPS employees in the 2020 election that I’m aware of, several of which were recanted by those making the allegations.

Was there vote fraud during the 2020 election?

I believe there was but I remain skeptical USPS had anything to do with it and absolutely do not believe there was any widespread coordinated interference by USPS in the election.

Unless you really think a nationwide conspiracy involving hundreds of thousands of people is possible or could be kept secret.

They've done an amazing job staying quiet so far. It's that or Arkancide with such evil people.

Sure can. As a consumer you call up to place an order.

Ask how they ship. When they tell you UPS, you tell them
they just lost a sale by using and anti-second amendment
shipper.

If fags can sue for their little fag wedding cakes, UPS can be sued for gun business discrimination.

Our right to keep and bear arms is in the friken Bill of Rights. How can it be legal for outside groups to pressure companies to deny us a right?!?

Isn’t there a RICO law or something against this???

And UPS is now dead to me.
