Lame
Ebay, which has always been a good place to buy gun accessories, has announced:
Effective June 8th, 2004, we will be making some guideline changes to the Hunting category (found under Sporting Goods). The following restrictions will limit what gun-related items can be sold on eBay:
The sale of any assault weapon-related parts or accessories will not be permitted. This will apply to all parts and accessories related to any firearm defined as an “assault weapon” by federal or California law.
The sale of any firearm receiver or firearm frame will not be permitted. This includes complete receivers and frames; components and parts of receivers and frames; or “cut”, “80%”, or “partially complete” receivers
Isn’t everything an assault weapon under California law?

eBay is based in California, so I suspect they probably get hassled by The Man for selling anything that might hurt The Children.

I guess this means no slings, no scopes, no bipods, no gun cases.
After all, you could use those on an “assault rifle”.
Then again, I only use eBay for car parts. I wonder when my Krautmobile will become an “assault car”?
