Put it in the mail.

Bondi and the DoJ just today declared that 18USC 1715 - the prohibition on mailing handguns and other “concealable firearms” is unConstitutional per Bruen and thus unenforceable, and USPS is therefore directed to change their firearms regulations.

To whit:
Section 1715 regulates the ability to transport, receive, and maintain
constitutionally protected firearms, which burdens the right protected by
the Second Amendment. But section 1715’s purpose and burden find no
analogue in this Nation’s history and tradition of firearm regulation. See
Bruen, 142 S. Ct. at 2129–30. We therefore conclude that the statute
violates the Second Amendment insofar as it burdens the rights of law-
abiding citizens to ship and receive arms in common use for lawful pur-
poses. Accordingly, the Executive Branch may not, consistent with the
Constitution, enforce section 1715 with respect to constitutionally pro-
tected firearms, and the Postal Service should modify its regulations to
conform with the scope of the Second Amendment as described in this
opinion.
