Self control: The minds ability to override the body's urge to beat the living sh.. out of some ass.... who desperately deserves it.
The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.

Obama, so full of crap it is a miracle Air Force One can even get off the ground,
The video in the OP said it was pushed on FB by a "group of mayors of several cities" (I think we all know who that is) and a "concerned mothers group" (pretty sure we know who that is too). I just don't understand what this bought them in terms of gun control. It's already illegal to buy a firearm if you're under 18. This is like "closing the gunshow loophole" that doesn't actually exist. I didn't even know there were firearms for sale on FB until this story came out. Now I'm going to go look at the ads, so in that respect it probably had the opposite effect of what they intended.

With scripts disabled by default I do not see any popup, had no idea it was there. Since I can browse without agreeing they are not enforcing it (it'd be trivial to enforce)
ETA:
A text story from the AP actually names the groups, they are the expected ones. What this bought them was alot of free publicity and people thinking there is an issue. It also got FB to make a stand supporting UBCs (albeit indirectly).

What does it buy them? How about indoctrination of an entire generation of new and soon to be new voters? Mass marketing at its finest.

If you are browsing AL, you agreed to it at one point, and you have a cookie on your computer. If you had not agreed, the site will not work. I won't agree to it, so I can only see a little of any referenced listing.
As for Facebook, I don't like it, but for Carbon Arms, it has been beneficial. It is entirely for the company and there is no personal stuff and it is linked to the Twitter account, so same same.
Wow, here I thought that I was OLD.
NRA posted (on Facebook, naturally) that this is a win for gun owners because these anti-freedom groups wanted FB to stop allowing it completely. FB's response was that they don't actually sell or trade anything. Here's the story on Breitbart:

Nope, scripts disabled it works fine. Enable scripts and get the popup which if I decline redirects me to google. Disabling scripts again and it works again.
No cookies in the standard places. Perhaps they do whitelisting by IP address, I am on a dynamic address.

I thought it was good, you'd think they'd ? the date.
