Bill Schodlatz,
Yes, I forgot PayPal was split out as a separate company. As others have said, eBay is a great place for gun PARTS...maybe even the best place for some of the hardest to find gun sights.
On another matter, while I understand the right of a merchant to decide not to allow selling of a certain kind of product, I which someone would challenge PayPal legally for refusing to transact such. Because if buying and selling guns is legal, and U.S. currency is legal for "all debts public and private," and PayPal transactions are denominated in U.S. currency...then maybe they can't be allowed to discriminate.
They are, after all, not the venue for the purchase...just the transaction mechanism. So if PayPal can say no, then what are we to do if JP Morgan or Bank of America suddenly say they won't process a check written for a gun purchase, or won't allow use of a debit card for it?
It's bad enough that social networks and ISP's think they can officiate what is and isn't acceptable free speech. How far are we before we're at a watershed moment where corporate entities "policies" trump the "Rights" of the citizenry? Heck, maybe we're already there.
