That's a RICO Act violation, as well as antitrust act violation.

Google and Apple are apparently illegally coordinating policy in an anti-competitive manner.

Mr. Barr, Line 1!

Anyone who says you don’t need to fear and have protections from government should look at what happened to General Flynn over the past few years - and rethink their position.

Apparently the only laws we have in the US now are the ones you may or may not choose to observe at any given time.

Cant they still bid from a browser?

I don’t think i’d trust using an apple or google app that those companies aren’t doing something with your data and financial info.

It may be true but they can do everything they need from a internet browser of their choice.

Breakup any smug outfit that thinks it’s so big it can’t be touched for chipping away at the American constitution. It damned sure can be and should be destroyed!

Gunbroker could make the app available from their own website. It is their app.

I’ve been avoiding all things Google for years now.

They’re the enemy.

Seems to me this policy is already causing financial harm as I’ve noticed a number of collectible firearms selling at lower than normal prices. Eliminating Gunbroker and like sales platforms will force sellers into consignment sales with local shops at 13-25% fees and a smaller market. For those wishing to purchase newer firearms it will increase the purchase price by eliminating discounts normally available on line. I expect to see lawsuits filed on these policy decisions.

Yet again, another thoughtless policy that does nothing to stop illegal sales but penalizes honest gun owners. If they keep this up, only criminals and government personnel will have firearms.

So, based on this outcry by GunBrokers, if I decide to not sell condoms, sex videos, and dildos in my gun store, bakery, or flower shop, I should be charged under the (albeit unConstitutional) RICO act or some (again, albeit unConstitutional) anti-discrimination EEO rule?

My reading of the Constitution seems to indicate that I can do what I like with my business, as long as I don't break any criminal laws... IMHO...

There's a clear and observable pattern of big tech and corporate America showing no respect for the Second Amendment or the many who support it. As we wrote on similar actions by other companies:

"Microsoft has put language in its Code of Conduct that prevents users from using them 'in any way that promotes or facilitates the sale of ammunition and firearms.' This is another sweeping example of corporate attempts to infringe upon America’s Second Amendment rights. There is nothing illegal or immoral about owning, selling or promoting firearms. Indeed, the right to keep and bear arms is enshrined in the Second Amendment."-Deplatformed: How Big Tech Companies & Corporate America Subvert the Second Amendment
