Ebay

At first glance I thought this was political correctness coupled with ignorance. Upon further thought, I believe it is fear of litigation. After all, Ebay does allow gun parts to be sold through their site. In the early days of Ebay, I made good money selling firearms on their site. They soon put an end to that citing buyers and sellers that were not abiding of the laws concerning transfers. Now, Ebay is nothing more than an advertising agent for the seller. They should not be libel for what buyers and sellers do, but we all know how litigation goes these days. Sue everbody and their dog too. For that reason I cant hardly blame them. This example is one of the best reasons for everyone to support tort reform.
