Block Mail-Order Gun Sales Enabled by GrabAGun's SPAC IPO

To: Rep. Casar, Sen. Cornyn, Sen. Cruz

From: A constituent in Manor, TX

You need to act now to stop the expansion of mail-order gun sales that GrabAGun's $179 million SPAC IPO is designed to fuel. In a country where mass shootings happen every single day, making it easier to buy firearms online and have them shipped through the mail is unconscionable. This IPO should not be allowed to stand as a green light for scaling up remote gun retail. The conflict of interest here makes it worse. Donald Trump Jr. sits on GrabAGun's board and rang the opening bell at the NYSE to celebrate taking it public — while his father holds the presidency. GrabAGun is now connected to PublicSquare's payment network, part of a deliberate strategy to build a politically aligned commercial empire that profits directly from selling more guns. Federal gun policy cannot be shaped by people with a direct financial stake in expanding gun sales. Push for legislation that restricts mail-order and online gun sales, and demand a formal ethics review of the SPAC structures enabling this insider enrichment. The two issues are inseparable: the easier it is to sell guns remotely, the more the Trump family profits. That cannot be allowed to continue.
