AURaptor 1,137 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Start to what ? Facebook can do as it sees fit, as it's a private company. I swear, some folks act as if Facebook is some inalienable right. I'm surprised they haven't started charging people to sign on and use it.

Yeah Raptor I started this thread because I think Facebook is some inalienable right... Not talking about you, chief. I've never seen any gun sale ads on my FB page, but I guess that speaks to who I have as 'friends'. FB isn't even that old a site, so it's not as if this country was founded on the sale of guns through online social networking. I wonder if some folks could even imagine a world w/ out FB, or the internet ! Oh, the horrors !!!

AURaptor 1,137 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 No one said that there were not any such groups on Facebook. All I am saying is that they can freely exist online without Facebook's assistance. I am saying that others who think that Facebook is where the Internet begins and ends, is laughable. It's a completely false premise to believe that this in anyway curbs gun sales. I just said, Facebook has only been around for a few years and it's not like people haven't been buying guns before Facebook. Good start? That's such a phony position to take. It's a non start.

"I am saying that others who think that Facebook is where the Internet begins and ends, is laughable." Not a single person has argued that. That's a straw man. A lot of gun transactions have occurred via Facebook as the medium, that's what I'm saying. Nobody here has insinuated that nobody sold weapons before Facebook either lol. I'm just glad people like Mark Zuckenburg is willing to ban the selling of weapons on their website even if Facebook only leads to a small percentage of the gun sales.

Well if you had read the second article that was linked, you would have read that a guy was prohibited from buying firearms because of a felony, so he bought one through Facebook. He went on to kill his girlfriend, his daughter and then himself. Sounds like wrong hands to me.

AURaptor 1,137 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 And if you had bothered to post that part in the initial thread.... Licensed gun dealers and gun clubs can still maintain Facebook pages and post on Instagram. The article also mentions San Bernardino shootings, but that wasn't a Facebook purchase. It was Militant Muslims, buying guns from a neighbor.

Really dude."Licensed gun dealers and gun clubs can still maintain Facebook pages and post on Instagram." gun dealers can still promote their stores on Facebook. They just cannot buy, trade, or sell weapons via Facebook.
