NRA Declares Victory Over Facebook Response to Gun Control Groups

Wednesday, March 5, 2014

After almost a month of pressure by Mayors Against Illegal Guns (MAIG) and Moms Demand Action For Gun Sense in America (MDA) to get Facebook to "prohibit the private selling or trading of guns on its platforms," Facebook announced "new educational and enforcement measures for commercial activities" that essentially restate what a company spokesperson said a week ago when they announced Facebook is not an online retailer and does not sell anything--including guns. 

Facebook's March 5th announcement thanks "New York Attorney General Schneiderman, Americans for Responsible Solutions, Sandy Hook Promise, Mayors Against Illegal Guns, and Moms Demand Action" for all their input. But in the end, Facebook merely announced it "will not permit people to post offers to sell regulated items that indicate a willingness to evade or help others evade the law." 

This makes three straight losses for Moms Demand Action stretching from Starbucks to Staples to Facebook.
