July 1st 2013 Changes to the Trading Post

[sellersm]

Hours of pure monotony, broken up by moments of shear drama.

Well said... Thanks for all you guys do, especially you, Mr. Owner!

Putting in hundreds of hours for free to help members and make this a nice site, only to be told we have no balls and similar comments, tends to make us temperamental pissy bastards. Yes.


The worst thing we can do is turn on each other. We need to stick together. Easy to say someone else has no balls when yours aren't on the line... not to mention behind the safety of a computer.

None of us are happy with this, brokenhearted in fact, and frustrated beyond belief. Especially when in addition to the hours on the forum, we were all heavily involved in trying to defeat these retarded bills, via phone calls, door to door efforts, visiting the capital, etc. Soooo frustrating to see our state, and our country for that matter, being destroyed one cut at a time by the libtards.

Best we can hope is the constitutional ammendment that if passed, will negate all these retarded new laws. But until that happens, or we vote the libtards out and get a common sense majority in there that'll revoke these stupid laws, we have to live within them. Sticking together and hanging on to this anger but using it to propel real change in our government - and our society - is what has got to happen.

Those of you who let your frustration turn against the moderating team, or your fellow members, will quickly be shown the door. We feel your pain and anger, but cannot and will not let it tear the community apart. Instead, put your anger to good use by letting it spur action and change WE can freakin believe in - get rid of those idiots. We have no balls? Nope, the people who have no balls are the ones who attack their compatriots.

Well said...and props to the site owners and mods.

You know what's funny is some members act like this was here to be debated, it's not.

If you have an issue over the staff trying to cover all liabilities as well as keeping the entire site (not just the TP) open then as the end all be all of COAR said "you know where the door is".

There has been a lot of talk to just end the TP and all the BS that's associated with it, frankly I think membership here would thin out tremendously. This site is more than the trade post and if you think by adding the prerequisite of having to list a FFL in your ad and to follow the letter of the law (no matter how much we feel its bs) is too hard to adhere too then please go and use the other online forums and sales sites.

The staff is working hard to protect this community and its Membership and that includes the people who are only here to use the TP and not contribute anything else of value here.

I'd be lying if I said I don't look at the TP every time I visit the site. I'm always looking for something and enjoy looking at the WTB section as I may have an accessory laying around that could help someone else out.

However, I've probably got more info from sections outside of the TP that are incredibly helpful. I can't say I've found any said sections on other sites. I'm not bashing those sites but CO AR-15 has been, and will hopefully remain, one of the most valuable tools in my range bag.

The best place to ask a "stupid" question without getting thrown under the bus because some person has "keyboard muscles".

Thanks for the heads up.

[Big E3]

I completely understand why we're doing this. That said is there any provisions in the rules for selling "Curio and Relic" guns? Since HB 1229 says you do not need to have background checks to sell C&R guns privately, we should be able to clearly identify a gun as being at least 50 years old and avoid the background check language in the add.

[J]

Good point. I'll add that to the list of terms to add to the terms & conditions:

If the firearm meets federal requirements to be a C&R, and the listing party specifically lists that it is a C&R, no FFL requirements are necessary.

because I am mildly lazy and the original text hasn't changed, the reference to HB13-1226 should be HB13-1224 in regards to the magazines, just didn't want folks getting confused.

Got it. Thanks for the catch

[rockhound]

man this sucks i was just thinking about buying my first gun too, i guess i wont now,

Thanks to all those who keep this site running. i do think the liability could land on them, beware that we are being watched for sure now, they will be looking for people to make an example of

I hope noone on this forum gets caught up in anything with all those new laws going into effect everyone will have to watch what they sell. we are all going to have to buy mags that fit the dems idea of what is safe,

2014 is my litmus test for this state, if we dont remove these piles o steaming crap from office in 2014 then we will be looking for land somewhere else.
