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.

To be fair, it sounds like they were strong armed by the Obama administration. And based on Mark Fcukerberg’s wimpy arms it didn’t take much twisting.

Use a different method, Facebook isn’t the only wasted space on the internet.

Strong armed? They could have told the White Hut to take a hike. They didn’t; as such, they are the enemy.

You are correct. Facebook is not a place to be doing or saying anything where you can be directly identified.

If you want to sell guns, go to gunbroker.com

How can they revoke anything when Facebook is not breaking the law? Stop making excuses for these scum.

Why would anyone even consider selling guns on Facebook?

I have an account so I can follow my daughter’s and grandkids’ lives and pictures. Rarely post anything and never on my own page, But, the concept of trying to sell firearms on Facebook is foreign to me.

What is wrong with some of the dedicated websites?

You do not have to Violate ANY LAW to have your corporate charter revoked, it is a Privilege not a right, they can do it simply because they don’t like him or the company.

My page is the most plain-vanilla place one can imagine.
Be very, very, very careful with how much information one shares with this data-mining organization.
Certainly no firearms pics on my page. Even if the tragic boating accident had not occurred.

Herr Zuckerberg is doing the bidding of his Fuhrer. Nothing unusual here.

I would not trust that weasel Mark Zuckerberg if he told me the sky was blue. I would verify.

“Use a different method...”

Come up with some code words. For example: I’ve got a tough little mutt named Roscoe. He’s 9. I like him but I have too many to take care of. I will include several bags of food. Call if interested 555-****.

Run away from California
Run away from New York
Run away from Hollywood
Rum away from Universities
It seems that all conservatives do is run from fghts.

The only reason I have one is to use it as a platform to proclaim the Gospel, the good news, that Jesus Christ is the way to eternal life.

I got into some pretty gnarly gospel tussles on Facebook, and then they decided I was a public figure and forced me to change my page to where I’m not seeing any of these friends any more. WTH?
