TC Think people forget that FB isn't a public service sometimes. Enitrely up to them what they allow to be posted on their site. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

South hams hunter 8,996 Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 Why would you sell a firearm on fb ffs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Born Hunter 17,974 Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 (edited) Is this petition anything more than the users of a private service letting the owners know their feelings on this proposed change? What's wrong with that? Or are they asking for an actual legal change? FB have the right to do whatever they want. I don't think anybody is claiming otherwise....... Folks sell guns on FB, like they do on here and like they do on any other number of websites. What with the current social liberal trends that seem to think it acceptable to force your views of 'equality' on everyone else why not push our own agenda? Not usually something I'd be in favor of but f**k it. Edited February 4, 2016 by Born Hunter 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
David Aiken 253 Posted February 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 Why would you want everybody knows Facebook to know you kept firearms in your house. Asking to be stolen They are (were) set to private and as with this group, a moderator vets posts and members. Do you know every one on this site before selling a firearm or giving your personal views? Do you take everyone on here as a personal friend? It's just another kick in the mouth from the anti gun brigade. What's to stop a campaign to stop all gun related forum groups from selling firearms? Once upon a time you could receive an air gun through the post or buy from a catalogue. Banning sales on FB could open the flood gates and have far reaching consequences.
