Michigan Democrat Haley Stevens Introduces Bill to Block Americans from Mailing Handguns​

Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) introduced legislation Friday to block a Trump administration rule proposal that would allow handguns to be mailed via USPS, the same way long guns can be mailed.

On January 15, Breitbart News noted that the Department of Justice’s Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) issued an opinion that the ban on mailing handguns violates the Second Amendment.

Although this statute does not prohibit the shipment of concealable firearms by private companies, major express services currently forbid all persons from shipping firearms, except for some federal firearms licensees that have private shipping agreements. Thus, unlicensed private citizens face a complete ban on shipping concealable firearms, even though handguns are among the core “arms” protected by the Second Amendment.

The opinion concluded with these words: “… the Executive Branch may not, consistent with the Constitution, enforce section 1715 with respect to constitutionally protected firearms, and the Postal Service should modify its regulations to conform with the scope of the Second Amendment as described in this opinion.”


Stevens’s bill is meant to prevent “any proposed or future” regulatory rule change of handgun shipping via the Postal Service.
The Hill explained that the bill “would prohibit the Postal Service from ‘finalizing, implementing, or enforcing’ any proposed or future rule that changes regulations governing the mailing of firearms and uphold a nearly 100-year-old federal ban on the practice.”
Stevens commented, “Michiganders want common-sense safeguards that protect families and support law enforcement, not reckless policies that create new loopholes for illegal guns. … The last thing we should be doing is making it easier for handguns to move through the mail.”

The irony is Handgun ARE routinely shipped through the US Mail every day using their Priority Service as it's cost effective and subjectively reliable, and before Zero chimes in with claims the Postal Inspectors X-Ray every package and verify sender and recipient, I will contend we've been Mailing Handguns for decades and never once have been questioned about it. Same with Commercial Shippers: other than something needing a non-disclosing (cannot put anything on the outside to indicate a firearm inside) label, they don't ask what's inside.
Two absolutes in Life: One day you will die, and Democrats always want to control Guns.
