Per the NRA site the UPS action was based on the following letter:
The latest changes, along with the earlier decision on shipping gun parts, are likely a result of a strongly worded letter sent on May 19 to UPS, Federal Express, the U.S. Postal Service, and trucking and rail carriers by five anti-gun U.S. senators blaming shipping companies for playing a part in the country’s criminal violence problem. The letter, signed by Democrat Sens. Edward Markey (Mass.), Corey Booker (N.J.), Chris Murphy (Conn.), Richard Blumenthal (Conn.), and Dianne Feinstein (Calif.), stated, “We are concerned that lax shipping security measures are contributing to the epidemic of gun violence in this country by allowing criminals to use stolen firearms to commit crimes.”
This tells me that FedEx and USPS may follow suite if not already.
