any criminal background checks, and sometimes, without even showing i.d. the organization is running an online petition that has gained over 90,000 signatures asking for facebook to enact policies prohibiting gun sales. a similar online protest is org' with currently over 94,000 signatures. "these platforms are being used for the illicit transaction of fire-arms in some quarters of american

see society and that is a fact. "and that is what the article is ultimately about how easy it is for just about anyone without i.d., perhaps a convicted felon, with some cash and a hand shake and drive off with a gun. " when richard began his investigation he found there are hundreds of public pages and groups on facebook that are geared toward gun

enthusiast. some of the names of these pages seemed to imply something . like, "guns for sale", "sell machine guns", and " i love guns" some of these pages appear to have a ton of interaction and huge numbers of followers. "within these pages i was finding chat logs that included obvious minors, junior high schoolers and such, that were looking to buy, sell, or trade illicit hand guns. " richard showed me a text message exchange from his phone that he had with someone he met on one of these pages selling guns. ok how much is the rifle?

don't need i.d. it's $550 bucks i'm willing to meet you here and give you 90 rounds of ammunition, no questions asked, no i.d. " richard says he saw what appeared to be a lot of minors looking for guns. "there was a junior high school student in new mexico who was really adamant about wanting to trade his 30 gallon water fish tank for a when sort. and there were people interested in talking to him about perhaps facilitating a transaction like that." spend a few minutes on any of these pages and you will be surprised how easy it is to find a gun for sale. a lot of the posts like this one for an ar-15 machine gun has the sellers phone number and email included in the post. "the majority of the people using these pages are in fact legitimate buyers and sellers they are following the letter of the law

whether it's state or federal to conduct these transactions." true. and keep in mind facebook has over 1.2 billion users we are talking about a tiny fraction here that is abusing the system. there will always be a dark side to social networking. it's a place where people meet and wherever people meet some of them will do bad things. whether it's in a dark alley, night club, or on a social network this is a tough issue facebook is not in an easy posistion it brings up a lot questions as a society we have to face the law abiding gun enthusiasts should be able to have their hobby pages just like anyone else should a few rotten apples ruin it for everyone?

and to me the biggest question is is it fair to ask facebook to police what people are doing outside of their network in the real world? do we want them to turn into social authorities? on the flip side they employ some of the most word. maybe they could come up with a solution. and should be pushed to do so we will have to wait and see how this plays out for now here is facebook's official response to this issue: "you can't buy things on instagram and facebook, nor can you promote the sale or use of weapons in advertising. we encourage people who come across any illegal activity or other violations of our policies to report it to us. we take action on all reports of abuse and other violations of our policies on our services." gabe slate kron 4 news few airline pilots are women and one west jet pilot
