Fedex and UPS create tracking policies for gun purchases and some people have questions.

New shipping policies about gun-purchases sparked Montana’s AG Austin Knudsen to look into this matter via a letter.

It is claimed that licensed firearm dealers are being forced to tattle on their customers who are purchasing firearms, that is, if they want to use FedEx and UPS to ship their products.

Fedex and UPS are private companies, yes. So they can make up whatever policies they want. But doesn’t it make you wonder why Fedex and UPS are creating new tracking policies for gun purchases? It certainly caught my attention this morning when I started reading the headlines.

Which, of course, brings up a slew of other concerns. Like, is there someone in the government asking these shipping companies to make new policies so they can create a new list of gun owners in America?

I know, it has the stench of conspiracist scheme doesn’t it? Maybe so. But remember where the new woke America is coming from, the big corporations.

• Apple working with China to stop their protestors.
• Facebook hiding the Hunter Biden story.
• Twitter censoring people and candidates.
• Google search engine results.

So yes, it would not surprise me one bit if these two giant shipping companies were in lock step with the government.

SCOOP: Montana AG Concerned UPS and FedEx Working With Biden Admin to Track American Gun Owners — Worried new rules are effort to bypass laws barring national gun owner database https://t.co/f9fhQTVpIB

Attorneys general from Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, New Hampshire, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, West Virginia, and Wyoming signed the letter that went out on Tuesday, November 29th 2022, with some questions.

The Questions for Fedex and UPS

News Talk KZRG lays it out:

OKLAHOMA CITY – Attorney General John O’Connor and 17 other state attorneys general are challenging new policies implemented by major shipping companies to obtain data on gun purchasers with unprecedented specificity. These policies could allow federal agencies to bypass warrant requirements to obtain that information.

• Did UPS/FedEx enact these policies with the goal of information sharing with the ATF or any other federal agency;
• Did UPS/FedEx enact these policies at the request of officials in ATF, a different federal agency, or on its own initiative;
• If UPS/FedEx implemented these policies at the request of a federal agency, please identify that agency, the officials who made that request, the nature of that communication, and any legal authorization cited by those officials;
• If UPS/FedEx changed its policies on its own initiative, please explain why it made those changes;
• Did UPS/FedEx communicate or coordinate with each other in making these changes; and
• Did ATF or other federal agency employees help draft the updated shipping agreements?

This video is a little over a month old but it is still relevant.

From NEWSMAX,

State officials are requesting UPS and FedEx provide them with information about any recent regulation changes that might give “federal agencies a workaround to normal warrant requirements.”

Knudsen said sources who spoke with his office indicated the Biden administration’s Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) “told [the companies] they have to do this.”

So instead of trying to force “gun control” via legislation and out in the open for all of us to resist, they are now going to do it by going in the back door of the shipping companies. That seems legit doesn’t it?

Again, the question is whether or not a certain three-letter government entity requested these new policies of the shipping giants. It would make it easier to go around the silliness of needing a warrant in some instances.

These demands, in tandem, allow [UPS/FedEx] to create a database of American gun purchasers and determine exactly what items they purchased. This could strip Americans of their rights to require federal agencies to follow due process to obtain warrants for that information in certain instances. This allows UPS and FedEx to provide information at will or upon request to federal agencies—information detailing which Americans are buying what guns,” the letters state. – News Talk KZRG

Now maybe I am simply being overly suspicious but I feel like I need to be these days. I remember back in the day when the Patriot Act came into being and some Republicans, Independents, and Libertarians were all up in arms about it. They were not happy and started swirling all sorts of “what if” scenarios and said it was spying on the American people. And me, at the time, still being all trusting of our government and totally naive in my younger years thought, “Well, I am not doing anything wrong, so I don’t care. ”

Well now, how times have changed for me.

This is a story that definitely needs to be watched.
