Donald Trump Jr.’s stake in GrabAGun, often billed as the “Amazon of guns,” stands to profit if a proposed federal rule would let licensed dealers ship firearms directly to buyers’ homes, industry and government filings suggest.
GrabAGun — which went public in 2025 with Trump Jr. listed as a shareholder and board member — markets itself as an online marketplace that streamlines internet firearm sales and could see substantial revenue growth if home delivery and digital verification ease current transfer requirements.
The rule under consideration, advanced by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and backed by the current administration, would expand options for transferring guns without an in-person meeting and broaden certain permit exemptions that bypass real-time FBI background checks, measures critics say would recreate a modern mail-order gun system.
Supporters argue the changes would modernize commerce and reduce burdens on lawful buyers; opponents counter they could weaken safety checks and increase untraceable or illicit flows of firearms, raising public-safety concerns.
