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

Like I own a gun. But I recognize that gun people can be dumb as dirt .

Would be news to me. What happened? Too many rookies getting fired for signing for them and leaving them at the door?

Yup

"Ghost Guns™ specializes in unregistered weapons builds so you can build them yourself."

I’ll tell you what I was told in cornerstone 20 years ago.

“We don’t care what’s in it.”

Seeing as how anyone can buy a gun, this can’t be argued.

Case in point: This package in a 10 piece bulk stop I delivered last week.

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.

UPS had to pay some big fines over illegal tobacco shipments several years back, even though the company didn't know what was in the boxes. I suspect any gun part ban would be because of liability issues. Last year, some 13-year-old kid was building ghost guns in the city I moved out of. He was selling them to gang members and he accidentally killed his older sister while shooting it out when he was getting robbed. He and his mother are both facing charges in that death. If you have the skill to machine a receiver yourself legally, I don't see anything wrong with it if you keep it for yourself. But there is no sense in making it easy for people to arm crooks.

We have two tribal reservations in our delivery area, and one of the tribes was selling cases of smokes to a tribe in New York state. The ATF came in and told the tribe and UPS that we were both breaking the law by shipping and selling untaxed cigarettes. When these cases of smokes came thru our building, we definitely knew what was in each case and the associated value of each case.

this company is circling the toilet bowl

 

[BrownStains]

As far as I know we’re still shipping guns all over the country

 

[Its_a_me]

It's a scam.

Trijicon packages show up all the time. I have yet to meet a 2nd use for a gun scope.

Sounds to me more like some unauthorized dealer got caught shipping ghost guns to states where UPS would face significant litigation.
