Samot,
How are you putting money towards gun control by using PayPal?
Not in the loop on this one.

never heard of gunpal. is that for gunbroker.com?
They donate their profits to Anti-gun campaigns/programs
Gun Pal is a pay service like PayPal. It allows you to make electronic payments without supporting Anti-gun political views like paypal.
Do we actually have proof they support anti-gun programs? I know they don't allow you to us paypal for firearms but that is just to protect them from being prosecuted if say some one uses paypal and buys a gun they are not allowed. On that note I am not defending them. I just want to know so I do not use it for anything, unless I don't have a better option.

Probably the same company????
yes we have proof contact the guys at tubegun.net, they don't sell guns just a sleeve for your 700 action, paypal accused them of selling guns through them and froze 800+ dollars and refused to give it up until they removed all paypal references from their website and they still held the money for a while,
I know its not a good idea just to take the word of some internet chat room on something but this one you can believe we need to end our dealings with paypal and ebay, ebay won't sell gun items but they don't mind being the biggest fence for stolen property in the history of theft
kind of like craigslist. you can get a prostitute on there but they flag guns. makes no sence to me
right but it was said they support anti-gun programs. It is for legal reasons they do not allow guns and other items that are illegal in some states so they do not have any problems with the law. they probably figure it is easier to restrict all of them instead of going through state by state which items can go to which state. again not trying to defend them but I would like to know if they are actually anti-gun or just trying to protect themselves from legal action.
also the same with craigslist it may not be illegal in our state but is in others. Its easier for them to say no guns period instead of policing the states that can or can't.

Its not the same company. Pay Pal is owned by Ebay. Gun Pal was started by some of the guys from Calgun.org. with alot of lawyers and exec's on the board.
i recently signed up for gunpal but have yet to transfer any money with it. i sell stuff on gunbroker and figured it would be a good way to offer the option of instant/credit card payment. as a merchant it also allows us to take credit cards by phone or in person for a modest surcharge.
it is documented in several places on the web that paypal will lock your account/shut it down if you are doing certain firearm related transactions with it. i don't have a particular beef with paypal but i don't want to run the risk of having money tied up in it in that kind of mess.
gunpal seems reputable and operates pretty much the same way paypal does when it comes to transferring money and 'cashing out' your balances with them. gunpal is run by people with a genuine interest in the firearms industry and exists to facilitate all things legal. they allegedly donate a portion of their cut of the transactions to gun-friendly organizations.
summary: gunpal seems legit and pro-gun/pro-do whatever you want within the bounds of federal, state, and local law.
