UPS shuts down FFL accounts

Yep, click bait. They haven't shut down my account. I shipped a rifle off to another member/ffl yesterday via UPS.

Yep.

USPS hasn't shipped handguns from a C&R as long as I've had an 03, 20+ years.

I thought they'd relaxed the rule if a museum curator had exhibited a pistol as an antique about 14 years ago. I may have read that in a discussion group. Not on the USPS website.

I try to stay current. I'm the reason the mouth breathing morons at the College Street station had to undergo remedial training on firearms shipping regulations.

That sounds quite specific. There may be subtleties in there for institutions, special circumstance. My local PO has a hissy fit about long guns. Certainly handguns have been verboten in the regs last time a looked, (a fair while ago), and refused both here and in IL. YMMV.

Well, kinda. If they won't ship unserialized frames; does that also affect an 07 FFL that orders forgings to finish and serialize? I can think of several members on here that could cause issues for.

The way I read the ATF rule that's a whole different thing. The 07 would be responsible for serializing them and UPS hasn't said anything about not shipping TO an FFL, just from an FFL to a non-FFL.

Also rough forgings and 80% completed frames/receivers are two completely different animals.

The damn dems are slowly going to sway organizations to stop shipping anything firearm related. Slowly choking off avenues for delivery. They will try there best to anyway. To hell with UPS. The never get my shipments to the right address anyway. Even when the house number is clearly the wrong one they leave my packages to. My house sits down the hill and is hard to see let alone the number. Only steady drivers know where to bring my packages. So I request either USPS or FedEx when ever I can.

this is the thing..
a company has the right to choose what it does and who it serves.
but
when a company works to corner the market and controls about 1/3 of its service,should it be able to limit legal companies from using the service it worked so hard to limit competition in?
should a power company be able to shut off power to someone they dont approve of?

why shouldnt they?

This is exactly the kind of issue libertarians cannot comprehend.

i think owning a huge share of any necessary business,one that hundreds of thousands of smaller businesses need to survive, should not be able to limit 100% legal businesses from using their service.
no more than social media should be able to determine whats truth and whats not.
the world has gotten small, and those who helped shrink it have a responsibility to keep it that way.

It is discrimination it's it simplistic form. Will no longer serve the public that own and promote the sale of a said product. They will ship Hustler magazine, we will ship porn, we will ship dildos, and explicit and perverted sex paraphernalia and soon they will shipping pot. But will not patronize the firearm community. I should sue the s**t out of them. In civil court because I feel like I got ass raped because of what they have done. It was horrific and I felt so dirty when I read that! I demand reparations!

Exactly what my post is addressing abovd. It should be wrong.
