What a bummer.

I'm surprised it took them this long. There was a group I had joined that had close to 17k members.
Largest social media site eh? Looks like I'll have to start seeking guns on YouTube.
Sucks for sure but can't say I didn't see it coming. Since liberals seem to run pretty much every source of internet based media it's only a matter of time until all gun sales are banned on the internet.
Love it or hate it FB has been a great source for (legally) buying and selling firearms for me. You get to see who you are dealing with, no anonymous emails or BS.
I don't have a Facebook and I didn't know you could buy guns or I would have gotten an account. Oh well looks like I'll be an outcast still since I have no reason to join now.
What about all the girls from high school contacting you and starting trouble with your wife? Surely that will entice you to join.Quote:

Not yet. Colorado gun trader page is still up. Instead of selling guns, just sell sporting equipment!
I have a strict policy regarding Facebook. No. Works for me.
I thought facebook was for the x-x crowd....
It's great for an evenings entertainment. Just find an old friend from where you grew up, view their friend list, people change, and see how many bullets you dodged. I feel like I've dodged more than that Matrix character.Quote:

Edit: in the article I read they used the word "Circumvent" they circumvented the BGC laws, which is one of those things... What do they call them? You know, when you blatantly don't follow the law? Undocumented! They were undocumented sales.
I feel like instead of Vegans, this site has the "I don't use social media" crowd.
No shit. So annoying. Facebook is whatever you make of it. Don't like liberals? Don't be one. Accidentally friend a liberal who spews leftist bullshit regularly? Unfriend or unfollow them if you don't feel like educating them. Problem solved.Quote:

I didn't even know Facebook was a hotspot for selling firearms. Wish I had known sooner!

I gave up facebook years ago when I realized gun forums could suck time just as good.
Facebook and Twitter are two of the worst things to happen to the Internet. It amazes me that so many people are willing to give up their privacy and control over their own photos or data in exchange for what amounts to a "free" webpage.
I prefer to restrict my Facebook comments to how much it sucks and how I will never use it. That's the great thing about a free society. People are free to like Facebook, I'm free to express my opinion about what a horrible place/thing it is. Everybody wins.Quote:

Every post about Facebook turns into the same argument. I love COAR15.
9mm vs .45?Quote:

I know many don't like FB and I have a love hate relationship with it myself. But there is a bigger picture here. FB today, Armslist tomorrow, then gun forums, where does it stop? This is just another little chip away at our freedoms and we should all be concerned.
Yeah...I don't think Armslist is gonna ban the sale of guns. Sorry, but FB's idiotic policy has absolutely nothing to do with freedom.
But what if the liberals hosting the servers decide they no longer want to be a part of gun sales???? Or the host servers of this site? Just another compromise, and another, and another.Quote:

Now, if the government came along and said, "no more internet gun sales", that would be a different story.
Nope. More like A.J. is a credible source for anything.Quote:

The number of people who want websites and online services related to firearms are an opportunity for someone else if Amazon or Google or whoever decide they don't want to host sites associated with shooting.Quote:

Deleted my account three years ago or so. No love lost.
Well, I just posted a gun for sale on the Colorado guns for sale page. It was approved by the moderator of the site about an hour ago. No statement yet from them about private parties not being able to sell guns there. Same rules as the Trading Post on this forum.
I have had a facebook account since maybe 2005? I have great fun going after the anti-gun posts, never lost a argument and even have a couple of converts there.
Looks like Colorado Gun Trader is now gone. They are up on another site though.
