Amazon listing of firearms items it will no longer sell

[Popeye212]

If I read this right and have read this in several places I will avoid Amazon.

https://sellercentral.amazon.com/gp/help..._200164950

I deleted my wish lists and will make every effort to make purchases elsewhere. Not that hard to do.

Ammunition for pistols and rifles, including assault weapons

Notice they had to emphasize ammunition for "assault weapons" instead of just rifle ammunition. This is Psychological operations (PSYOP) 101 at it's best. Planned operations to convey selected information and indicators to audiences to influence their emotions, motives, and objective reasoning, and ultimately the behavior of governments, organizations, groups, and individuals.

Yup, the line in the sand separating gun rights opposing views is growing daily.

Scroll down the page it includes almost everything reloading equipment.

??? I'm no great fan of Amazon, or maybe my brain just went to sleep, but I don't think it's reading that way.
Actually I don't see much different than what they've been doing for quite a while. They haven't sold ammo for I don't know how long. Used to sell reloading brass, some types mostly Hornady... most other components, bullets, primers, powders, - I haven't seen on there.

For example, reloading gear... is permitted -->

[Timmy2Knives]

agree that this doesnt appear to be a big change. That said, Amazon is run by a known leftist. If you care about that, think twice before buying there. If not, carry on.

I have never used Amazon and I guess I will keep up the practice. I will also encourage my friends that do use them to stop.

[bj139]

The Outerimpact scope base is still in my saved for later list as well as a recoil pad and a few riflescopes.
You can buy this right now.

It looks like nothing has changed just a press release to satisfy the masses.

StoneHendge does not do business with the owner of the Washington Post.

[grayfox]

mdram, I guess this list might have expanded... but except for a scope or 2 in the past, couple of scope bases, and some brass 'way back, I'm not really shopping Amazon for shooting.

[TomSawyerNW]

I started doing far less with Amazon when they charged me sales tax on a couple items.

Will you clarify that I'm in the dark on that one. Turn the light on please...

Jeff Bezos is the 100% owner of the leftist ragsheet Washington Post.

It should also be noted that Carlos Slim, the richest man in Mexico who has an extremely vested interest in maintaining the status quo, is a major stakeholder in the New York Times. Mr. Slim's cartels would benefit greatly from "common sense gun control" since they would likely gain control of gun running across our porous southern border.

[Double Naught Spy]

I am sorry, but were any of y'all buying a lot of gun stuff from Amazon before this?? From the sounds of it, you were not. So this won't impact you anyway. As noted above, there really isn't any significant change to what they have been doing all along anyway.

Thanks for the info. And yes I have bought a bit of gun related items from Amazon. I try to avoid it but some items were more cost effective going through them. Not worth it now

[Shadow Knows]

For the love of Pete what the heck is an assault weapon? To snowflakes my vocabulary is an assault weapon.

[NugginFutz]

Much ado about nothing.

If the list includes new items, they aren’t things I’ve typically shopped amazon for, in the first place. As for the bulk of the list, it has been that way for as long as I know, and I understand the notion that I cannot get combat boots in a Victoria Secrets.

Amazon sells books on the subject.



Plus, there was the Rifleman's Assault Weapon developed in the late 1970s: http://www.thefewgoodmen.com/thefgmforum...raw.13190/

And the Marines have the Shoulder-launched Multi-purpose Assault Weapon.

It is a play on words created by the anti gun crowd when they needed an evil sounding term to ban a certain class of firearms that had only cosmetic features they disliked. Technically they are semi auto rifles that don't have a select fire feature. It is an ominous sounding term to scare ignorant people into supporting firearm bans or sell firearm rags, "as Stan has pointed out" to feed small egos in the firearm community. People can dismiss what amazon is doing, but they are, "stopping the sale of perfectly legal products from their business" which does have a social effect of demonizing the right to bear arms. I'm rather shocked pro gun people down play such actions. I guess some frogs feel the heat rising in the pot more than others.
If you don't think this is a war against your gun rights, then you really don't deserve to have them. https://www.theblaze.com/news/2018/05/11...rol-issues
