Danger-Mouse Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Good news for gun trading sites. I presume it will also apply to shotguns. http://www.reuters.com/article/us-facebook-guns-exclusive-idUSKCN0V72QB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rewulf Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 This has nothing to do with the UK. Its been on the radio all day long,but fails to mention that its pretty much an issue for the US. They even mentioned that a anti gun group had 'evidence' that guns sold on facebook had 'killed' Any opportunity... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nighteye Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Somebody on my Facebook account said that if you had a closed group and nobody complained then how would they know anyway , I would still be apprehensive about buying a gun on Facebook , that is just in my opinion though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Facebook Inc (FB.O) prohibited global users from coordinating person-to-person private sales of firearms on its online social network I haven`t heard anything about it anywhere else but the above statement would suggest otherwise.

Apparently tax payer funded guns are being used by tax payer funded authorities to shoot members of the public! Although apparently one or two were claiming benefits and may have known an immigrant....(DM) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt1980 Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 A Facebook gun sales pages is the same as any sales page. As long as the buyer and seller do the paperwork there's no issue. If it's done by rfd it's probably better, a bit of comeback as its the dealers checking paperwork. Plenty get sold on there, although I've noticed its mainly cheaper ones. It's a massively used media now, sadly it's the way forward in a lot of ways. Sad to see more shops disappear. I use it, have bought and sold on there, works fine in my opinion. Anything over £500 will go on here much easier tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mossberg-operator Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 Facebook has been shutting down gun related groups as well. Lost 3-4 of my groups in the last 2 days... People are moving to MeWe wher this is permitted.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesj Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 I suppose they have the right to do as the feel fit, its a shame they are more concerned with law abiding shooters than terrorists and pedophiles but then its not just face book are EU rules don't seem much better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
