Craigslist: You Can Advertise Hookers but Not Guns?

[Troutslayer]

Why would Craigslist allow ads for prostitutes but not guns? Seems a little hypocritical to me, guns are legal and whores are not. ***?

One of them is more profitable and has less overhead.

We posted a Hornady Case Prep Center on Craigs list and within one hour had it flagged by some Liberal nut as a "Gun" Component. There are liberals that just troll Craigs list looking for anything related to firearms and then Flag it to be take down. Can't even Post reloading equipment.
Even had a Scope that was flagged.

You mean I was posting my hookers on the wrong website???

Craig's list is a dangerous place to do business anyway. I don't shop there.

I've never owned a business but certainly they would be looking at what possible financial liability they would face if bad actor purchased gun on CL and did bad things. Probably similar calculation being made by UPS. Now for the other thing, I guess if someone gets STD they could sue CL but for how much?

Or maybe CL could sue the victims…https://www.foxnews.com/video/5810699696001

If I recall correctly, about 8 or 9 years ago CL got sued by the family of someone who got murdered by a gun purchased illegally on their site.

I wonder what would happen if some group of people were to just FLOOD it with those type of items for sale. Maybe even some goofy items like a 155 mm cannon from a US destroyer, name unknown. Class 3 and Pictutre I. D. required , $XXXXX.00

So, in other words, about 4 or 5 years after the OP was last seen on LRH?
