UPS Ditches Gun Owners

This seems like a bad move to me. If they’re concerned about lawsuits (as she points out near the end of the analysis), the answer to me is as clear today as it was years ago.
Ditch controller states. I’m not talking about UPS. I mean gun manufacturers. If gun manufacturers would simply refuse to distribute to states like California, New York and New Jersey, this problem would come to an abrupt end.
Here’s the catch. They would have to stop distribution to LEOs too. No sales to anyone. No replacement parts to anyone. No ammunition to anyone. That includes especially law enforcement.
Let them have what they asked for. No more guns to controllers, not more lawsuits.
But in the end, that’s not going to happen, so we’re left with UPS ditching gun owners, and gun owners having to find other ways to transport parts.

Not sure but if ups destroys stuff in there care to transit I would think that would be a problem for them. Refusing to ship is one thing. intentionally destroying it is something else.

I just got something from PSA via UPS.
It arrived just fine.

Just another reason in a line of examples of why we need to throw a financial fence around these states…

Seems to me that UPS is still contractually obligated to finish delivery of any items already in-transit, although they are free to refuse to accept any more items for shipment. But for those items in transit – either they are legal and should be delivered, they are illegal and should be reported to the authorities, or they are unknown and should be returned to sender with refund of shipping costs. UPS has absolutely no right to destroy that material. In fact, if they feel it is illegal and destroy it, then they are tampering with evidence. Hmmm. Seems like Ghost Guns should hire a lawyer to send a strongly worded letter.

f you read the UPS site they have not really banned anything its the same rules as 2019. I think you have all been fooled and the only state having guns hijacked is California from what I can see.

@Phil,
I merely linked a video. I didn’t get “fooled.”
I expect my readers to help with the research. I can’t do everything.

The only gun company I know of that stood up and refused to do business in Kalifornia, including with government entities, was Barrett. When they announced that, I didn’t have the $$ for one of their firearms, but I at least forked out a sawbuck for a hat.
