Ronin38 2,117 Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Want to guess why they're considering this idiocy? http://venturebeat.com/2014/03/03/facebook-to-announce-policy-changes-on-gun-themed-pages-exclusive/ The social network has been under pressure from the powerful Mayors Against Illegal Guns and the Moms Demand Action civic group to ban gun-themed fan pages on the site. I know a lot of folks here don't like FB, but it's still a question of supporting our rights to free speech and our Second Amendment! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thebuns1 4,323 Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 I guess all the pro freedom posts and info on there is starting to piss certain people off. Good. Let them shut down the pages. FB sucks anyway. I only really get on to promote links to freedoms and share gun porn. No sweat off my nuts. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DLT 1,646 Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 (edited) Let them try. Then collectively sue them for violating your 1st amendment rights in favor of someone else's. Edited March 4, 2014 by DLT Quote Link to post Share on other sites
YOT 3,743 Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Call me guilty of pissing off a lot of anti gunners, then. That's my main reason for sharing on FB. The message must be hitting the mark. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
csspecs 1,987 Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Pifft, you can buy anything from weed to people on facebook. Seems laughable to get picky about a handful of guns changing hands. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ShadowFire 220 Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Well if they do, it ain't perfect but it is an alternative to facebook. https://www.teapartycommunity.com/ I don't consider myself a tea party member, I just know the site exists. They are a pretty nice group of people though, I give them that. I do consider myself as a Constitutional Fundamentalist though. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yakdung 2,926 Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Facebook what for? I do not see any value add in what they are pushing. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
XD45 7,124 Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 (edited) I had a myface, or spacebook or whatever it's called. Didn't take long to figure out it was just another data mining operation. If the idiots at Mayors Against Constitutional Rights or Moms Demand Enslavement weren't such idiots they'd realize that social media is the best way to keep track of those that support freedom.

Dad2142Dad 6,559 Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Did not, will not ever have a FB page. I have said this once before, but am to lazy to go find it. If someone created a site were gun owners could communicate it would be awesome! Oh snap, MAXC already did that for us 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sccritterkiller 473 Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Let them try. Then collectively sue them for violating your 1st amendment rights in favor of someone else's. I don't agree with the FB stance on guns but it is a business. A business has a right to evoke certain restrictions as long as it's with in the law. It's no different than a restaurant posting a no concealed carry sign on the front door. You have a right not to use it...I don't like what goes on @ FB therefore I don't go to FB never have never will, fuck em! If enough people disagree with their rules someone in the industry will create an alternative. That's the great thing about a free market system. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mostholycerebus 415 Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 That sucks, most of my Facebook favorites are small gun shops and manufacturers. I use it to get amazing coupons, support small businesses, and keep up with the newest product developments. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Arik 565 Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Facebook may, and indeed does suck but they cant violate your 1st or 2nd A rights. Only the Gov can do that. And technically they wouldnt even violate your 2A. They didnt say YOU cant keep or bear arms. They just dont want it in their "house" Yes it sucks but you can still buy all the guns you want. I never used facebook because I just had no reason to. Everyone I know I keep in touch via phone or txt msg in real time. And I never had a need to post random crap to random people. And the way its going I wont need to 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ronin38 2,117 Posted March 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Well, they announced today that they are only going to delete posts that offer to sell guns to individuals without going through an FFL. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
read_the_wall 614 Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Well, they announced today that they are only going to delete posts that offer to sell guns to individuals without going through an FFL. because doing something legal should not be on facebook next it will be tee shirts that bad mouth democrats Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ronin38 2,117 Posted March 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 Well, I found the "cause" for this idiocy. Some moron sold a gun to a 15-yr. old (already illegal, by the way!), and said 15-yr. old took it to his school and got caught with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scoutjoe 276 Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 While I don't like it, the only option I would have is to "deactivate" my accountIts their ball and their court. You still have local newspapers, craigslist, forums,etc Or the dreaded gun shows! Oh the humanity! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ben4345 123 Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 I have no sympathy for those who are about have their FB accounts closed due to having fire arms there because FB think you might be selling them. If you have a FB account, you deserve a lot worse. They should actually close down motor vehicle pages too, those are the #9 most deaths in the USA. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Billybobf 50 Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 I actually don't have a Facebook, my alter ego does! Only problem is, my wife is my wife on Facebook, so if you have half a brain. Well crap, I don't have an s12 account either, but I did donate with my real info, lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

XD45 7,124 Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) It's been pointed out many times but obviously can't be said enough. You cannot have a right that places obligations on others. Therefore my right to keep and bear arms and my right to free speech place no obligations on facebook to accommodate me. We have no more right to demand facebook allow gun posts than "those people" have to come here and demand this site NOT talk about guns. Facebook is free to ban gun posts, and you're free to not use it. I strongly suggest you excercise that freedom. Edited March 6, 2014 by Darth Saigus 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The libtards only want freedom when it helps them advance their various agendas, true freedom can be very inconvenient. I think the above statement is very well put, short and straight to the inconvenient point, thanks Darth. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ronin38 2,117 Posted March 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 I think we should make it as "inconvenient" for the Lib's as possible, not just bow to their wishes and quit using FB. That is what they want! I do like FB for the gun-groups I'm on, and it's easier to keep in touch with friends and family who live far away. The only people on my "Friends" list are people I actually know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I agree that you should fight for what you believe in, but it doesn't change the facts of the principals of freedom. My .02 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
