The easy answer to all of the above is something that is glaringly obvious, but often lost in the shuffle:
ONLY New York State, of all of the 50 states, has a blanket prohiobition on the posession of handguns by non-residents or unlicensed residents.
Not California, or New Jersey, or anywhere else.
So... it's not rocket science to not accept as a shipment a handgun on a flight that terminates in New York.
Yes, people ought to be knowlagable of the laws. With that said, if you grow up in a "firearms socially accepted" part of the country, this issue may so far removed from your worldview that it's just not "on the mental radar". A little reminder from the airlines would be good citizenship, and good business practice.
