Brady's head honcho is at it again, clutching pearls over the USPS quietly reminding folks that shipping firearms through the mail is perfectly legal—something that's been on the books for decades. In a recent freakout, they slammed the postal service for promoting gun shipments, as if clarifying federal law is some sinister plot. Never mind that handguns have been mailable since the 1968 Gun Control Act (with long guns following suit under strict regs like adult-to-adult only, no ammo included, and proper labeling). This isn't new policy; it's the feds dusting off 18 U.S.C. § 1715 and related ATF guidelines that gun owners have relied on for safe, compliant transfers. Brady's outrage? Pure theater, ignoring how millions of lawful transactions happen this way every year without turning the post office into a crime scene. What's really grinding their gears is the erosion of their favorite narrative: that any gun movement equals chaos. Dive into the context, and it's laughable—USPS has prohibited dangerous handguns since the early 1900s, but post-GCA, it's been regulated commerce, not prohibition. Brady's flip-out comes amid rising FFL-to-FFL shipments for repairs, sales, and rural transfers, where driving hours to a dealer isn't feasible. Their complaint? It normalizes mailing guns, as if FedEx and UPS don't already handle this under the same rules. Clever angle here: this is less about safety (zero evidence of mail-gun crime waves) and more about Brady's donor-driven push to demonize 2A infrastructure. Remember their failed no guns through the mail campaigns in the '90s? Same playbook, zero traction. For the 2A community, implications are gold: this viral whine spotlights how anti-gun groups manufacture hysteria from thin air, priming the pump for broader shipping bans that could kneecap private sales and small FFLs. It rallies us to double-down on compliance education—use those green Adult Signature labels, declare contents, and ship unloaded. Pushback opportunity? Flood USPS praise for upholding law, and remind pols that 90% of gun crime involves illegal actors, not mailed long guns. Brady's tantrum isn't just embarrassing; it's a gift, exposing their disconnect from reality and fueling our momentum. Stay vigilant, ship smart, and keep the Second Amendment postal.
