BANG!

[azcap]

Classified ads from a radio station/newspaper website without censoring guns!!! Oh the horror!!!

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Nanny State PING!

[billybudd]

Where does Bloomberg get any authority to act against the Mormons?

[Da Coyote]

So, let me get this straight...

The eviiiiil Mormons sell guns.

The moral dim-bulb-crats sell abortions.

And I’m supposed to go after the Mormons?

Wanna bet which “sales” produce more deaths?

[MHGinTN]

IIRC KSL is where I ordered a couple of pellet rifles. Got my order promptly via FEDeX and the order was exactly as I requested, with extra air cannisters and pellets to boot. Good folks to do business with. If I remember correctly, you can order black powder weaponry through them also, for home delivery.

[steve86]

and beating out even Craigslist.

WTH are they talking about? Gun listings are prohibited on stupid cl.

[muir_redwoods]

Any comparison of the number if people killed by F&F guns vs. KSL guns? Didn’t think so

[Brad’s Gramma]

Isn’t the Bishop Romney anti-gun?

And...why does Bloomberg get to comment!? Doesn’t he have enough on his own plate?

[Hodar]

KSL.com does nothing that any other newspaper/radio station couldn’t do. It has a free online Classifieds section - where anyone who wants to, can buy/sell just about anythign. I got rid of a 1980’s style oak bedroom set, some exercise equipment and a water softener. Just take a digital picture, throw up an asking price - and list it.

It’s 100% free - open to anyone who wants to look/sell or buy.

Guns, ammo, loading equipment, campers, cars, knives ... and it’s free. The fact that it’s owned by the LDS Church was news to me ... but so what? They aren’t doing anything wrong, immoral or criminal. Any other newspaper, radio station or newstation with a website could do the same thing. The fact that they don’t; makes one wonder why, doesn’t it? KSL gets lots of free marketing, because most everyone in the Salt Lake City area checks that website out.

Now the guns.......

First it was online cigarette sellers, he got his way on that so he expects the gun sellers to go along just as willingly - boy is he in for a BIIIIIIIIG SURPRISE!

[Paperdoll]

To what group are they focusing their marketing? To the general public, or to other Mormons.

Google The Google the White Horse Prophesy.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Craigslist has never allowed firearms ads. What’s this reporter smoking?

[Disambiguator]

John M. Browning, who was the greatest gun designer ever, was a Mormon.

Two of his designs are over 100 years old and still in daily use by the military today. Imagine that!

[Chainmail]

Finally, a reason to like Mormons more -

If Romney wins the nomination, how about this:

"2012 - Pick a Mormon or a moron"

[caveat emptor]

Sounds good to me. I live in BC and have been considering starting to spend a few winter months in SW year to year camping and hiking in the desert, wondering about moving a gun or two back and forth, buying something there I can't bring back etc. Like this Serbu Super-Shorty.

[Tennessee Nana]

Fundraisers...

It aint just bake sales anymore...

[Vigilanteman]

I suppose he feels he's been so effective in attacking the Second Amendment that it is now time to extend his tentacles to the First.

[Cymbaline]

Yup, those Mormons are just a bunch of gun-runners! Next thing you know, they’ll be selling AK47s to Mexican drug lords to....

Oh wait. Never mind.
