WASHINGTON, July 2 (Reuters) - Donald Trump Jr. helped take an online retailer known as the “Amazon of guns” public last year. Now, GrabAGun, where the U.S. president's son is a shareholder and board member, could reap a windfall from a proposed rule change at Trump's Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives that would make it easier to ship guns directly to people's homes.

If finalized, the rule would be among the most consequential changes to the U.S. gun policy in two decades, potentially driving huge growth in online gun sales, according to ten industry officials, store owners, and gun-control advocates interviewed by Reuters.

The proposal would allow licensed dealers to ship firearms directly to in-state residents who undergo an online identity verification and background check, along with a seven-day waiting period after notifying local law enforcement. Currently, online buyers must pick up firearms at physical stores and undergo in-person background checks unless they have a permit.

Some gun shop owners, industry officials and gun control advocates argue the direct shipping of firearms poses significant public safety and security risks and threatens the viability of small brick-and-mortar gun shops. The change could benefit Trump Jr., whose more than 300,000 shares in GrabAGun are worth more than $700,000 – down from more than $5 million last year. A spokesperson for Trump Jr., Andrew Surabian, said in a statement that the president’s son had no role in the ATF proposal.

Donald Trump Jr is facing renewed scrutiny from ethics watchdogs over his commercial ties to GrabAGun, a Texas-based retailer aiming to transform online gun sales. The President's eldest son, who serves on the company's board and holds a 1.1 per cent stake, finds his business interests under the spotlight as the administration evaluates significant federal firearm reforms.

While the White House maintains that policy decisions are entirely separate from family investments, critics argue that the overlap creates a potential conflict of interest. The company is positioning itself to become a dominant force in the industry, and any regulatory easing of direct firearm shipping to consumers could significantly increase its market share. With the administration currently reviewing policies governing the online firearms market, the intersection of political power and private gain has sparked a fresh wave of public debate.


GrabAGun has built its business around modernising firearm sales through online ordering. At present, customers can purchase guns through the company's website or mobile app, but federal law requires firearms to be shipped to licensed dealers, where buyers must complete background checks and collect their purchases in person.
