seriously, did i miss something? why has there been a sudden proliferation of guns for sale on nyspeed? all i know, is if i were an owner/administrator of this site, the last thing i would want is liability for guns transacting over my website, which could later be used in a crime. food for thought :shrug: ---

then you might have to stop selling cars, which could be used for drunk driving. or cologne used for seducing and raping women. ---

Even if its later used for some sort of mass killing… i don’t know the legality, but i do know that sometimes perception \> reality. just because the law wouldn’t hold you liable doesn’t mean you can’t be named in a suit. im talking about more of a civil liability than criminal too. if it were my forum, i would probably disallow it in order to minimize potential risk, whether fair or not. ---

i have noticed two mine and the 870 i dont think that is alot. as for liability it falls on the seller to be sure he knows who they are selling it to. in the past i have gotten a photo copy of a DL when I sell a gun if it is someone I do not know, with both signatures and keep it for a certain amount of time. edit I just noticed the 870 guy put up another one… ---

as long as you dont have a criminal record anyone over 18 yrs old can buy a long gun aka shotguns and rifles… you need to be 21 and have a permit for pistols. i dont see the big deal i own 23 guns and some bought online, garage sales, swap meets, and ect dont worry about the guns and hug a tree ---

NYS laws regarding private gun sales. > State law requires people buying or otherwise obtaining ownership of a handgun at a gun store or through a private sale to possess a license, which requires applicants to go through a criminal background check. In addition, a background check is required on private sales of all firearms at gun shows. **Private sales of rifles and shotguns at places other than gun shows, such as through newspaper advertisements, or the internet are not subject to a background check requirement.** You’d have a tough time suing the seller and pretty much an impossible time suing the site considering NYS law doesn’t require any kind of background check on a private gun sale for rifles and shotguns. ---
