Have you every seen this comment from facebook after you tried to boost an Ad?
"Your Post wasn't promoted because it violates Facebook's ad guidelines by advertising
the sale of ammunition, firearms, knives, daggers, swords, bows or other weapons. The
post remains published, but it is not running as an ad."
This was the Ad we tried to pay to BOOST..
This video is a collection of interviews with the Police and he asks them what to
do if someone tries to break into his home? The police admit they will get there
but for about 2 minutes they keep admitting "You are on your own"
This video and several others can be seen at No Guns?
Did you see anything that was trying to sell any type of Firearms?
Um, it is Facebook. Anything that doesn't promote the reflexive anti gun narrative is going to be censored. Facts and police common sense are irrelevant and do not exist.
Next time, claim the post is part of a jihad and you're Muslim. Extra priority if you include a beheading video. You'll get posted immediately this way.
I've got a page devoted specifically to firearms. Check it out.Punch in "Bailey Signature Firearms" and see what comes up. My stuff certainly isn't "politically correct".
I think you are either blessed or lucky. This is my 5th or 6th BOOST to be rejected. You can POST what you want but when you try and pay to BOOST the Ad they
reject them. Their comment even says the posting can stay they just refuse to allow that Ad to be Boosted.
Sorry but it was most likely due to the FACT that facebook ads is just messed up. It doesn't have to do with guns. There are MANY pro-gun Facebook pages that do very well. Just look at the Military Arms Channel.
We had the same problem when we first started. It most likely doesn't have anything to do with the content. It took us about 3 weeks before they finally sorted it out. Had to do with a flag that was set that had to do with country codes.
FB has the sheep pretty much where they want them (i.e)
Posting your bowel movements every so often or telling your friends how your day is going.
It's a well planned attack on many; mostly the youth in our nation.
Tweeting, FB'ing, burying one's face into their iPhones, texting etc...
ANYTHING other than what IS important...
These distractions will go well for them until they hear that sound of their back door being kicked in as they are hauled off to who knows where, or when the
lights go out taking cell towers with them..OMG!..No more texting? How will they live thru no FB, texting and tweeting?
I haven't had one single problem with this type of thing. I've been hacked & spammed a couple of times. But, FB seems to take this kind of stuff seriously.
I'm also a member of several conservative AND firearm groups on FB. So, far "legally" buying, selling or trading firearms & ammo on FB seems to be no trouble at all. I've also seen a LOT of great firearm & ammo deals on FB and would recommend anyone looking for a deal to look on FB. (Much, MUCH better than Craigslist & other sites!)
There is a huge difference between having a pro-gun page and being able to advertise on facebook. My page is pro-gun and every time I try to promote an article
it gets killed. They will allow us to have our own pages but not advertise. These are two separate topics. All of my posts are pro-gun as well. This is their way
of keeping our reach limited. The page you listed does not PAY to promote their articles. This is designed to slow down our growth.

That's nothing. The administrators for FB quite often randomly remove posts, and take down entire sites that are pro-2A, just out of spite, for no reason pertaining to their policies, and if you question them about it, they either ignore you, or ban the entire page moderator staff for your own page. They are spiteful littlle so-and-sos, and the remainder of my thoughts about FB and it's policies are not fit for this site.
Of all the things that really concerns me,facebook is way way way down on my list,smh.
