Arsmlist no longer free

[RandallC]

Found out reading today that Armslist is no longer free to sell and buy firearms on.

I noticed that too! Sad times

I wonder what made them go to paid memberships over how they had it setup. Their setup is pretty easy to recreate and it not as big as they want. I think GunBroker is twice as large.

Well apparently they had legal issues. Maybe they need to recoup some moneys?

 

[RandallC]

It may been a result of the legal troubles. It would be a cold day when I change this to a pay to play website.

On the other hand, it may just give this forum more opportunity to thrive with a flux of new users.

Also, I think doing the right thing/owning a firearm/being a man are all legal issues in todays world.

Media hysteria doesnt help. A few years ago i debadge my truck of all things firearms related. Gun free zones and what not makes them too much of a target.

 

[RandallC]

I know I do not have anything related to firearms on my truck though I want to.

I am thinking of just putting them on my toolbox instead, inside the lid. But its not the same as showing support to the world for something you truly 100% believe in.

My reloading room and gun safes has all the branding material now. Ive been trying to convince my family to at least get a revolver for the current climate in our society. After the shit went down that ended up with Wendys on fire in Atlanta on top of the G. Floyd protests in midst of the pandemic, I just begin to question the safety of my friends and family if things get any worse. National guard being deployed and LE being called back is not something I wouldve predicted last year. Alas here we are...

 

[RandallC]

Agreed, I didn't see this year going the way it has. Best be prepared for anything and always be on alert.

they are being sued in a wrongful death suit because they said the husband who killed his wife bought the gun from armslist

I read on another forum that it is to get control of scams which have become a big problem.
