John–

Facebook won't let you make posts offering to mail abortion pills^1—but
they will let you buy and sell guns up to 10 TIMES before they kick you
off the social network.^2

This leniency for unlicensed gun sales is beyond shocking—it’s incredibly
dangerous. It does little or nothing to stop the unchecked spread of
firearms, meaning an increased likelihood of more guns in the wrong hands.

Facebook is coddling gun sellers and putting our safety at risk. [ [link removed] ]Sign

A reporter even tested what Facebook lets gun sellers get away with: They
made a post offering to mail abortion pills, and their account was
immediately put on a "warning" status. Yet when they made the exact same
post and swapped out the words "abortion pills" for "a gun," the post was
allowed to stay up.^3

There’s even a separate, five-strikes policy extended to gun sellers and
purchasers who actively call for violence or praise a known dangerous
organization.^4

That's not accountability. That's complicity.

As a volunteer with Moms Demand Action, I know that our movement has the
power to press Facebook leaders to do better, because we've done it
before. But they still haven't done enough.

Corporations have an important role to play in the fight to end gun
violence—[ [link removed] ]sign the petition telling Facebook to do more to prevent gun
violence.

Thank you for taking action.
