Here's the requested comment we provided, I guess it didn't make the cut. 🤷‍♀️
"MOC strongly supports the U.S. Postal Service’s proposed rule to allow the mailing of lawful handguns. For nearly a century, an outdated 1927 federal ban treated handguns differently from long guns despite both being constitutionally protected arms. The Department of Justice correctly determined that this restriction violates the Second Amendment, and USPS is right to conform its rules accordingly.
Responsible Michigan gun owners already ship fi****ms legally through private carriers under strict conditions (unloaded, securely packaged, tracked with signature confirmation, and fully compliant with federal and state law). Adding USPS as an option simply expands access for law-abiding citizens without creating new loopholes. Criminals do not obey mailing regulations or background-check requirements, they obtain guns through illegal channels regardless. Attorney General Nessel’s opposition reflects the same anti-gun politics that routinely burdens legal firearm owners in Michigan while doing nothing to stop actual crime."
Concealable handguns have been banned from being mailed unless they come from licensed dealers since 1927.
