What policy was being violated?

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.

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.

Guess that statement means that the NEBRASKA RELOADERS group will soon be a Gone Goose.

Too bad.

Good site.   Lotsa knowledgeable reloaders thereon.   Good discussions.   Good equipment and components market.

It's Always Sumthin'.........................

Facebook is only deleting pages allowing person to person sales.  They still allow FFL holders to post for sale ads on pages. From FB ToS...
Weapons:
?Ads may not promote firearms, ammunition, paintball guns, bb guns, fireworks, explosives, pepper spray, knives, tasers, or weapons of any kind, including those used for self-defense. Ads may not directly or indirectly link to landing pages where people can purchase any of these products.

?Images of weapons are generally acceptable, as long as the weapon is not pointed directly at the person seeing it.

Ads promoting blogs or groups that exist to help connect people whose interests are related to these products are allowed as long as the service does not lead to the sale of any weapons or explosives.

Acceptable: "Gun Exposition Today"
Unacceptable: "Get your ammo here"
