Welcome to

Gun sales on Facebook – not monitored and unchecked – have some gun control groups concerned. As Matt Galka tell us, the exchanges are going on in college campus groups as well.

FSU Craigslist – a facebook group where Florida State students can sell items to each other – is  a good place to pick up a couch, a T.V., and maybe even a gun.

Just this week, three guns went up for sale in the group with two of the posts being taken down by the social media giant. Promoting the sale of firearms is a violation of the website’s policies.

But FSU student Erek Cullbreath – who’s also a member of the students for concealed carry group – doesn’t see the big deal.

“I think it’s a manufactured issue, we’re not saying that mass shooters buy their guns through these private channels,” he said.

Still, gun control groups are concerned about the activity

Private firearm sales in the state are legal. But we reached Kathryn Grant with the group Keep guns off campus by phone. She says the lack of background checks – especially in an online facebook setting – is alarming.

“The fact that people are able to obtain a gun without any scrutiny should be alarming to the campus community,” she said.

Cullbreath has a compromise.

“A constructive law that could help out would be maybe put on a felon’s license, because that’s what you need to show by law when you’re purchasing it, put that they’re a violent felon,” he said.

The National Rifle Association didn’t want to comment on camera – but said that private sellers are not allowed to sell a firearm to someone who is suspected of not being allowed to own one.
