Facebook Quietly Expands Ban on Private Firearms Ads to Include Licensed Gun Dealers

In January 2016, Facebook instituted a ban on private individuals advertising gun sales and,
in July, expanded the ban to include licensed gun dealers, as well.

The expanded ban lumps Federal Firearms License holders (FFLs) who operate out of their homes with private sellers,
although FFLs must do a background check for every gun sold, whether working out of their homes or not.
