IMO, the official reason they don't allow guns for sale - 'legal and/or BATF' is just phooey. There are plenty of other sites that allow guys to hook up for gun sales and they don't seem to be going to jail. The other excuse - 'people can always advertise in the Parker Pages' is just as lame. In 2008 that's like using a carrier pigeon instead of email.

The real reason? I think it's to protect the all-important dealers who are part of the PGCA. I can't offer a gun for sale, but if I hang up a shingle and become a dealer then it's OK. Odd.
