Trump Jr’s ‘Amazon of guns’ could make millions under new proposed firearm rule

A proposed U.S. federal rule would allow licensed firearms dealers to ship guns directly to in-state buyers who complete an online identity verification and background check, followed by a seven-day waiting period after notifying local authorities. This change could significantly boost online gun sales, benefiting companies like GrabAGun, which Donald Trump Jr. has invested in. Critics warn of public safety risks and threats to traditional brick-and-mortar gun shops, while supporters argue it modernizes the industry. Trump Jr.'s representatives denied any involvement in the proposal, and the ATF stated the rule was developed independently of the White House.
