BREAKING: UPS cancelling gun dealers’ accounts, destroying packages in transit
The shipping giant cites "ghost guns" as the reason for terminations.
United Parcel Service is terminating the accounts of gun dealers across the country. Any packages currently in the UPS system may be “seized and destroyed.”

In a letter sent to one Florida gun dealer, Ghost Firearms, UPS said they were terminating the account because they “may be violating” laws concerning homemade firearm parts.

“We write to inform you that UPS has learned that your company may be violating applicable laws concerning the shipment of “ghost guns” to unauthorized locations,” the letter states. “In light of our concern, UPS has determined that it will cancel your account, effective immediately.

[...]

Ghost Firearms sells uppers, lowers, handguards and OEM parts for a number of manufacturers. They also sell 80% receivers.

“We do not ship to states where they’re not allowed,” Zatar said. “We are in total compliance. We had ATF in here just two weeks ago, and they told us we were completely legal.”

Retail giant Brownells told their customers in a Fake-Fact-Checker Facebook post Friday that they too were terminated by UPS.

There are also stories floating about that UPS canceled Brownell's account.
Oddly enough, neither UPS, nor Brownell's makes any mention of such a change.

The long weekend's fake news.
The company in question - Ghost Guns, makes no metion of this on their website.
Does this look like an official UPS communication?

UPS doesn't have the authority to seize and destroy packages, that would be theft.

They could if they chose, turn it over to law enforcement.
I will never apologize for being an American.

There's enough real opposition to firearms without making up ghost stories.

Yep;
It's one thing to get hooked by a smooth, well thought out, clever scam.
This was not that.
This makes us look bad.

If it is on the interwebs it has to be true.

Do yo have a first hand account of any business that actually verifies this happened?
Can you point to the policy on any official UPS sites?

50 copy/ pastes of the same BS doesn't make it true
