We, the undersigned, would like to inform Mark Zuckerburg, as well as the investors, advertisers and related companies of Facebook, that we will reduce or cease using Facebook, and any associated product, should you choose to ban firearms, or any other legal item, from your site. We will direct our social networking elsewhere, costing you millions in advertising revenue, and costing your advertisers sales.
The persistent growth of this initiative indicates that many users share these concerns regarding platform policy. This momentum confirms that our collective resolve to protect consumer choice remains strong.

Firearms have been privately traded/sold long before Facebook and will continue too be long after. There is more of a trail regarding these purchases on Facebook then in private sales on the street. Facebook needs to focus on other things over this.

I'm a soldier that stand up for this country's freedoms, and talking about guns, the industry, the sport of shooting, or gunsmithing is not a crime! attack the criminal not the object of his destruction. If Facebook bans these pages I will ban Facebook from my life!

Dont ban something that only a relitive few have issue with, guns arent illegal. Drugs are illegal and I see postings daily with illicit drug references and those go unblocked all the time. Keep facebook the way it is and dont give into the pressures of Bloomburg

I respect any private business' right to operate as they see fit, but I see hypocrisy in banning the discussion and/or trades of legal items when you allow sites that are degrading to women and promote illicit drug use, just to mention a couple.
