The Trump Rule that Could Put Guns in Your Mailbox
Description: Soon you could buy a gun online and have it shipped to your door without ever setting foot in a gun store—if a Trump administration proposal is finalized.
Donald Trump Jr. is a shareholder and board member of a company that says it’s “uniquely positioned” to capitalize on the opportunity. GrabAGun bills itself as the “Amazon of guns.” Don Jr. has pitched it as buying a gun the same way you’d buy home décor.
The ATF estimates that as many as half of all gun buyers could one day skip the store entirely. But even the gun industry’s top trade group says its members are “overwhelmingly opposed” to the new rule.
