eBay bows once again to the antis

[Grenadier]

Not surprising at all.

Now you can't even buy / sell reloading components on eBay, even if they're simple, unprimed brass casings.



Hello everyone…In mid-August, we will be updating our Firearms, Weapons and Knives Policy to place more restrictions around gun-related items.

Once these changes take effect, we will prohibit listings of any firearm part that is required for the firing of a gun.

This includes items like bullet tips, brass casings and shells, barrels, slides, cylinders, magazines, firing pins, trigger assemblies, etc. Please read the Firearms, Weapons and Knives Policy (http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/firearms-weapons-knives.html) for more details on our current policy.


Halprin asserts that much of this was due to the VT tragedy, but the last I saw, Cho Seung Hui didn't manufacture his own ammo, nor did he change barrels, trigger assemblies, etc...

I believe it all stems from the lawyers.....too many lawsuits against every possible individual...not the felon but each involved gun mfgr'r, ammo seller, etc......crazy.....

I disagree because if they are afraid of lawsuits they just handed some lawyer for one of the VT shootings a victory.

They are just a bunch of PC nitwits. Firearms people are better off spending their money elsewhere.

I think I might go look for a feedback link on eBay and let them know I might not be buying more stuff there.

I usually do not buy stuff like that there, I prefer to see it and touch it with my hands first, but that is personal. Yet, I think as long as it is legally owned and legally sold then what is the issue. The issue is people are trying to control others with threat (* this is terrorism in my opinion living in fear of being sued *) and not laws and letting the authorites handle a situation.
