If you buy or sell anything firearm-related (and this can be interpreted pretty wide!!), your account is suspended... Honestly, PayPal. I want a straight answer, a real reason. Why the **bleep** can't I purchase firearms and firearm-related items through PayPal!? I absolutely love PayPal. It's fast, efficient, and super secure. I've had nothing but good experiences with PayPal... A few years ago, when I first attempted to purchase a firearm over the internet (in accordance with ALL applicable state/federal laws regarding out-of-state firearms transactions, 132% legally), MY CREDIT CARD INFO WAS STOLEN!!! Hmmmm, imagine that... Now, if only there was a third-party program that could instantly transfer funds from credit/debit cards or even bank accounts, without compromising financial information. That would be just wonderful!! What's that? There's already a website designed to do that? Where!? Ohhh look, it says here you must drink at least 64fl oz of wheat-grass daily to qualify for their services. 😞 And ya know, FailPal... You REALLY **bleep**ed your pooch! Back in '07 and '08 when Obama got elected, people were chomping at the bit trying to buy weapons and ammo, fearing a second 1994 Assault Weapons Ban.... You missed-out on SOOOOO much potential profit! Retailers, even ONLINE-BASED RETAILERS, couldn't keep firearms and ammo on the shelves!!! It got so bad it was actually a small MIRACLE to find 5.56mm or 7.62x39mm ammo!!! And these weren't just cheap purchases; 600 bucks to 2 grand and even more!! People were buying bullets by the THOUSAND PLUS ROUND CASE, at up to 2 dollars per round!!! I'd estimate an average purchase price per firearm/1000rd case of ammo to be around $1,000 to $1500, just single-item purchases. Factor in those who were buying 2-3 firearms with 10+ cases of ammo (it was literally like the country was stocking-up for the zombie apocalypse), and it's easy 2-4 grand... And at 3-4 percent 'PayPal-brand PayPaling Fee,' you dumb hippies could've EASILY afforded another few Ferraris... Each! Honestly, it's one of the DUMBEST business strategies I've ever seen; denying customers your security and simplicity simply because you feel you've gotta make some sort of political statement... Really, it only shows us that you'd rather make a scene than support your customers' rights... You'd rather look like a forward-thinking company by working backwards... I can't feature it... I'll be happy to rescind the comments that PayPal is staffed almost entirely by silly-headed smelly communist hippies, just as soon as I get an answer; a real fact-based reason; as to why you figure you shouldn't cover firearm/ammo/related purchases.... Sincerely, - CK
