My guess is that Facebook is responding to locals in a community that use the tools to report firearm sales.

Using a person to purchase firearms for a person who can't get them is called a straw purchase.

Maybe advertising something other than a gun to sell a gun should be covered under straw purchase.

... and property values rising near $1,000.00/square foot does indeed seem screwed on very tightly excepting for a few percentage points at the top.

So I have a hard time understanding what compass you are speaking of exactly.

Be vigilant over your bird sanctuaries, UK.
backtoyoujim··on Basic income plan clearly rejected by Swiss voters
The American Dream was narrated by banks in the USA as a way of fighting "the Red terra" and to make the populace wear the yolk of a mortgage. People with mortgages generally don't protest or strike.

As American hegemony spun the globe so did the "own your acres".

Not bullshit.
