You are paying your ISP to move packets to and from the internet backbone they are connected to without editing or blocking those packets.
The contents of, source of, and destination of each packet is none of the ISP's business.
- User23 8y agoThat depends on the contract you signed with them. Even common carriers can refuse to transport objects. Many forbid even disassembled firearms for example.

No, common carriers choose not to ship them precisely because it isn't legal (unless the sender and recipients are FFLs). Common carriers are usually fine with shipping muzzleloaders and pre '98 guns (all of which can be shipped and received by non FFLs).
