Facebook to Ban Firearm Accessory Ads
« on: June 19, 2018, 08:39:13 AM »
Facebook is banning firearm accessory ads to those under 18. Holsters, etc. I'll be curious to see if it remains limited to under 18 or if it's a foot in the door to simply banning the ads to all. I would expect Google to follow suit. It's interesting to me that socially left leaning Amazon has not followed suit on these kinds of things. They still seem to be mostly putting business first.

No link - just now heard it on the newz.

I wonder how that's going to impact an acquaintance and former coworker of mine that sells holsters on FB?  Hopefully it won't go to a full bore ban as that is his only means of advertising and it's working very well for him.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Suddenly everyone on FB changes their birth year to 1997 or before....

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

What a crazy thing for a business to do.
