The Trump administration is proposing a rule change that would permit the mailing of handguns through the United States Postal Service, a practice largely prohibited since 1927. The Department of Justice argues the current law is unconstitutional and infringes on Second Amendment rights, while opponents, including attorneys general from two dozen states, contend the change would facilitate gun violence and bypass crucial state-level safety regulations. The proposed rule would allow individuals to mail concealable firearms within state lines, with stricter conditions for interstate shipping, and USPS is currently reviewing public comments before a final decision.
