eBay bans sale of any parts “required for the firing of a gun”

by DJ Neawedde | 31st July 2007

After the shootings at Virginia Tech, eBay is updating their “Firearms, Weapons and Knives Policy” by disallowing listings of any “part that is required for the firing of a gun.” including “items like bullet tips, brass casings and shells, barrels, slides, cylinders, magazines, firing pins, trigger assemblies, etc.” This decision was made after learning the Virginia Tech gunman purchased several empty ammunition clips through eBay about three weeks prior to the attack. I think this is a great idea, and it would be even better for online auction houses to stay out of any kind of weapons related deals all together. eBay Announcement
