Remington 870 12ga (as I posted on Facebook. LOL...)
Hmmm... I posted this yesterday on Facebook and have not gotten banned by them (yet), but who knows.
"Since there was a gun show this weekend at RIR, I wanted to make yet, another Pro-2nd Amendment posting on Facebook:
Who on here DOESN'T own the famous, the ubiquitous, the "Ford F150 of shotguns"... The one, the only, the Remington 870 pump action 12ga shotgun!"
(2nd post/comment by me)
"Oh, and before anyone freaks out... It is unloaded, the chamber is open, and the pump action slide is pulled back (opening the chamber)."
So, with that said, who else is a fan of the classic Rem 870? It's everywhere! Every deer camp, every duck blind, all across the good ol' USA, the 870 is around!

Facebook doesn’t prohibit firearms posts, only sales. Hate speech, threats, and violence are also naturally prohibited.
Lots of folks post quite regularly regarding firearms. I try to limit my own exposure, as I’ve been a part of professional interview processes where potential employee social media is snooped, and have been on hiring teams to see firsthand that a great deal of emphasis can be placed on any particular political leaning, but I do know many, many of us post firearm photos, participated in shooting sports groups, follow firearms businesses, etc. Just can’t sell firearms through Facebook.

I knew about sales, as does everyone... I just like to "stir the pot" as they say and talk about firearms, ammo, gun shows, etc... on Facebook. I don't give a hoot who sees it or what they think. We still have the 1st Amendment from what I understand.
As far as employers, hiring teams, etc... snooping around Facebook on a prospective candidate for hire, I am "friends" with my own boss on Facebook, and he cracks up at my posts all the time!

I set my feet firmly in the Mossberg camp when I bought that ugly camo 12 gauge on the top. I was eleven years old and used lawn mowing money. I've used that pump for everything from deer to doves. Squirrel, rabbit, pheasant, grouse, ducks and geese, woodcock, and snipe. Turkeys too. Probably some more I'm forgetting. It's ugly, beat up, and gets some laughs. But my game bag is usually full at the end of a hunt.
The 20ga on the bottom is my wife's.
Dad has some 870s that I play with from time to time just to appreciate a fine firearm. An wingmaster in 16 gauge is a pleasure to carry and shoot. And an Express in 12 or 20 is a do-it all option for allot of people.

But it’s exhausting to see so many “pot stirrers” which really aren’t, because they imagine themselves thumbing their nose to some fictitious, fascist, liberal enemy behind the keys at FB HQ. Facebook doesn’t care about firearms posts - as long as they aren’t sales or threatening.

In short, these companies want it both ways, and the courts are starting to push back.
