A couple of our gun groups have been deleted today by FB due to a violation of their policy. Central Nebraska Gun Trader and Nebraska Gun Exchange.

Nebraska gun exchange had over 17,000 , Members

I still have Central Nebraska Gun Trader, but NGE is gone. Darn shame!

It's hard telling. Guns are scary, to hoplophobes.

The Eastern Nebraska Firearms Exchange(started by your's truly) is still alive and kicking, but I run a pretty tight ship. BS not allowed, and rules are pretty strictly enforced.

Clicked the link and got "This content is currently unavailable" and then searched Facebook for "Eastern Nebraska Firearms Exchange", but got nothing.

Just another good reason to tell Facebook to take a flying (fill in the blank).

I changed to settings to make it a "secret" group. Anyone that wants to join, just send me a message with your info and I will add you to the group. 3155 members as of tonight.

that's how the group that went up operated, plus each post had to be approved before it was posted

I'm recommending people come and join us here, we could use some new people on the forum as well as the new NFOA members.

My friend Kyle and I have added over 50 "refugees" just since this all went down.

As has been noted in other forums, facebook is the debil

Toster · « **Reply #14 on:** December 11, 2014, 11:24:32 AM »

I was a member of several of them, and now, I can't find them anywhere on my FB account.

thirtydaZe · « **Reply #15 on:** December 11, 2014, 01:17:30 PM »

I got suspended for 24 hours from Facebook recently for posting a true statement about Islam. It looks like Zuckerberg wants to purge Facebook of all things forbidden by the high seers of the liberal cult, sanitizing it the same way all liberal media are sanitized.

An America-hating piece of liberal trash like Zuckerberg has a right to keep whatever he wants off the site he built. But he and his fellow bigots do not have the right or the power to impose their intolerance on the rest of the internet. So I think it's just a matter of time before there is an alternative to Facebook compatible with loyal Americans. If something like that comes along, we'll want to help it grow.

I have a few guns I'd like to sell. What's the best site to go to for that?

gunbroker.com is the ebay of firearms. You can use Advanced Search to determine the actual selling price (vs. asking price) for guns of interest. Once you learn how to use Advanced Search, that is. It's a bit quirky, but very useful when mastered. Better than Fjelstad's Blue Book.

armslist.com is not nearly so good as gunbroker.com. Far fewer guns. But.......you can search or post by state and find/sellNebraska guns, such that you won't need the service of an ffl holder. I recently bought a nice Ruger SP101 thereon.

Good luck.

And don't buy any more guns that you really, really need.
