LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) – Some Facebook users are frustrated over the way gun trading sites were officially shut down.

The social media network banned gun sales by private individuals on its website Friday. Unless you're a licensed weapons dealer, you cannot sell guns on Facebook. But according to some Arkansans, there's some grey area there.

On Tuesday, Arkansans found their Facebook accounts shut down because of the new policy. They have questions and are demanding answers.

“There was never any violence, any murders anything you would consider a violent crime due to a Facebook gun group,” said Dominick D'Angelo, one of many Arkansans whose Facebook account was deactivated because of the website's new gun sales policy.

No one has a right to a Facebook account any more than they have a right to post on FR.

Don’t like it?

Leave.

Next up conservatives will leave the planet and move somewhere else.

And if our descendants have any sense then the first time someone says, “Gee, we have such a lovely home here! You know what we need? Some ignorant third-world sh**stains to crap it up and demand welfare from all the rest of us!” they’ll burn him alive as a lesson to the others.

I guess I was just saying that in general and not at you in particular. Sorry!

If you want the world to see the latest picture of your child or grandchild picking boogers and eating them, then Facebook is your go-to space.

If you just had your grey hair tinted blue...Facebook is for you.

If you gained a few pounds...lost a few...whatever, and want to lie about it to every one else...Facebook again.

But if you're going to do anything with anybody else that involves the buying and selling of an item, then why let the whole damned world know your business?

Facebook is for losers that are so full of vanity that they have to publish the latest stupid looking selfie that they think portrays them in a good way, or for bored housewives to trade recipes for biscuits...or find a coupon for .15 cents off a pound of hamburger meat.

Real men do not use Facebook, unless it is to do as I have done, which is to establish a faux account and spend wasted minutes ridiculing the other idiots that use Facebook.

No more Facebook...unless you want to see some brat picking his nose...or something.

And, I know for an absolute fact that every damned alphabet agency that exists (except maybe the FCC) is monitoring Facebook and having thrills up their respective legs when they see some nit wit that advertises his guns for sale, or his anything else, for that matter.

Facebook is for losers!

Through FB I can gather intel in my AO from a region scanner news group posting information on local crime and happenings in real time, instantly, with on site witnesses, reporting what no news organization can compete with. And 90% of what goes down never makes any online newspaper. Rapes, thefts, accidents, chases, all manner of incidents.

Through FB I can network and sell my music.

Through FB just like in real life one can pick and choose quality individuals to network for many opportunities, but unlike real life one can get access to professionals in any field, sports, Special Forces, entertainers, etc. And yes one can have adult conversations with them.

Through FB one can gather personal info on people for spying, etc.

It’s a great tool, just don’t get fazed by assnine banter and childish deviancy and simply block certain postings or individuals.

But if it is going to be used as a liberal partisan tool they can do without my business.

Please FB, do it. Become partisan and you will end your gravy train.

It is over if you only cater to the liberals. And then, good riddance!!!

All it takes is for your Secretary of State to REVOKE their Corporate Charter and they can STOP facebook and the scum zuckerberg in their tracks!!!

ALL Corporations need PERMISSION from EACH STATE TO OPERATE


OK I’m confused. Are saying that Facebook can’t operate in a state without the state’s permission?

So no one in Alabama is allowed to login to Facebook unless the state says it’s OK.

ALL Corporations are required by State Law to be registered in the State they wish to do business in. ANY STATE that REVOKES the Corporate Charter of a business can then SUE and PROSECUTE said Business for ILLEGALLY operating in their State.

So if a State revokes the Corporate Charter for Facebook, Facebook would be REQUIRED to cease all operations in that State or face CRIMINAL and CIVIL CHARGES.

Operating a Corporate Business is a PRIVILEGE, not a right, and it can be revoked for any damned reason the state chooses.

So you’re trying to say that, let’s say, every corporation, incorporated in TX, that has a website that someone MIGHT access in Tennessee, or Arkansas, or Oregon, has to have a charter from every other state?

Just the logistics of every corporation in every state being chartered in EVERY OTHER state, would be unworkable.

Sorry, but I call BS.

I’ve set up numerous websites over the years, for individuals doing business, companies doing business, AND corporations doing business, as well as college and government sites. Not one ever worried about having a charter in another state.
