Disclaimer: Can Pages offer or promote the private sale of guns and other regulated products? If your Page or other content on Facebook promotes the private sale of firearms, alcohol, tobacco, prescription drugs or adult products, please make sure you're following the law and targeting an audience that's legally permitted to buy the product. Laws on regulated goods may differ greatly by country
and state. For example, in the U.S., the private sale of firearms is generally restricted to sales between residents of the same state, and certain categories of people are prohibited from purchasing firearms (learn more from The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives). For that reason, we require you to remind your audience about their legal responsibilities in the About section of your Page by adding: "[Gun/alcohol/tobacco/adult product] sales are regulated in most places and may be prohibited. Learn more: fburl.com/16417234." If your Page promotes the sale of guns, you must also include: "Background checks may be required." In the U.S., some states require a background check for the private sale of a firearm. Even if you do not live in such a state, a background check for safety purposes may be performed before completing the private sale of a firearm. It's your responsibility to ensure that you're following all laws and regulations that apply to you. We recommend using a pinned post to educate your audience about background checks. This helps ensure that your post stays at the top of your Page. Pages that promote the sale of firearms and other regulated goods and adult services must be restricted to adults only.
