"Today, Dec. 27, 2012, it has come to our attention that Facebook is purging accounts that show a leaning toward pro-gun rights, meaning the Second Amendment of the U. S. Constitution; as well as anything to do with pro-liberty information."

They lost me when they said this was a prophecy foretold in the Bible. :rofl:

 

FB isn't some gov't run conglomerate. It's their game and if they want to change the rules, by all means go ahead. Nobody is required to be a member there.

I'm glad I never bought into the Facebook fad.  The twit thing is even more ridiculous.  I don't care how many friends you have and I don't have any interest in what you had for lunch.  I might join something called "Gunbook".  Naw, TGO is all I need.

[gjohnsoniv]

Hmm, mine has yet to be closed.

Mine is still up and everything on my page is related to guns or big loud non-environmentally friendly trucks.

Honestly if i were kicked off Facebook, itd give me an excuse to spend more time on TGO.

[Wingshooter]

I never joined FB. Not enough time to worry about myself much less everyone else. Just a gossip site IMHO.

[Spots]

Im on facebokk and mines covered in gun stuff. Honestly its a pvt website, and can be edited just like this place can.

[DaveTN]

The gun sites I know of are still there. Who has been “purged”?

[Guest GimpyLeg]

Idle chatter......  I've not seen any closed.

[RobertNashville]

All the "pro-2A pages/groups, etc on Facebook I belong to are just fine (I checked when I first heard of this story) but more to the point, Facebook can do whatever its owners/management wants to do. I don't like it but they still have the right to do it if this is actually happening at all.

 

Whatever pages may or may not be shutdown by Facebook; I suspect there is more going on than those pages simply being "pro-2A".

I felt pretty much the same way but now that I've been on it for a couple of years, I've found it to be an excellent way to find and keep in touch with people I lost contact with over the years including high school friends, Navy shipmates, extended family, etc...it's also great for providing info for the various car clubs I belong to.

 

All it all, I think Facebook is a good tool.

[mikegideon]

I'm still getting everything.

[Guest uofmeet]

I am still finding plenty of pro-gun pages......

[Hi Point Hooligan]

And in the last days there will be stupidity, and rumors of stupidity.

Really?  I guess I've been in the "last days" for a few decades now because I've encountered much stupidity and rumors of the same for most of my adult life.

[Guest Aces&8s]

Mine is still there (such as it is) and my pagename is "Guntotingvigilante"... maybe I am not pro-gun enough?

Same here, I log on to Facebook about 10-15 mins.,a week! Get bored and log out!

[vontar]

hell i will check in, mine is still there as well.

[Sam1]

That guy that claims his FB was "purged" has a bunch of FB pages under different names, but they have almost identical content. If his account was banned, it was over an administrative reason not for 2a issues.

 

Looks like another one of those dumb tin foil hat stories used as a publicity stunt.

[Guest Mad4rcn]

I purged mine myself,it was just time to do so.

[RobertY]

My account is still there and I use the same avator photo as on here.

 

I mainly use FB just to keep up with family. I used to play some games on there but dumped 'em all. :)

[Moped]

I have several Pro Gun links that I like on my FB Page and they are all still there.  I think this is bogus.
