Shooters - were you aware?

EBay is now banning even simple reloading supplies and more in their growing anti-gun campaign.

"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 for more details on our current policy. . ."

Here is a link to a petition to eBay protesting the planned changes to their firearms policy. The petition has over 950 signatures at this time.

For the rest of us, is there a Petition to support the ban?

How do we know for certain that electrons don't feel pain? What if online auctions cause pain to the electrons used to transmit data? eBay should cease business activity now. Save the electrons!

Brown rice eating, Birkenstock wearing, tree hugging, non gun-toting Californians... :blah: :shrug:

Cheers.

Good for E-Bay. :tup2:

EBAY is the symptom, not the cause. Since law suits are so common with fire arms related deaths, I sure that they are only thinking about their bottom line. That sounds like it's about along the same lines as why we no longer have diving boards at swimming pools or why trampolines come with 8' mesh fences.

I believe you are correct, Neesie.
