^^^^^ THIS, is NOT Bushs' fault ^^^^^


Just one liberal, cow towing, to another .....

Meh, their house, their rules.

 

[GodFearinGunTotin]

Sheesh!

Well that will really suck. I have bought several guns through FB groups. I am not sure how they will stop it though.

 

[hoosierdoc]

so you can still be a business and sell guns on FB?

 

[voidsherpa]

Wonder if they'll make FFL's scan over their paper-work......

I don't think they can monitor every post. If this does come to pass, it will take a long long time. Better sell your **** now while you can.

I dont think it'd be that hard for them to flag/take down via keywords. Just a matter of the tolerance they put in place. Will me posting a photo of my EDC get taken down? time will tell.

They don't need to monitor, we'll turn each other in to our FB overlords

 

[hopper68]

No more I need a gun now-cheap!! or WTB $700-800 gun for $250 post!! Oh no!!

 

[hoosierdaddy1976]

Not happy about it, but as written above, their house their rules.

QFT

 

[BogWalker]

Look at it this way. If your area has a pretty popular Facebook gun trading group, now is the time to set up a private classifieds website for it and start pulling in some ad revenue.

Mbills for FB mod!

 

[Leadeye]

Meh, hipsters gotta be stylish.

 

[femurphy77]

DAMN! And I'm probably NOT going to lose sleep over it either!



Uh what's Facebook again???

Yes they can. Doesn't have to be humans monitoring it. For example, ChurchMouse probably didn't edit your post to change that 4-letter word to asterisks.

Hmm, I don't know... he's a sneaky ******.
