Facebook apparently has a problem with the Second Amendment, based on what they did to these page owners August 22, 2016

Facebook is fast becoming a censorship machine. First, the social media giant admitted to manipulating its trending feeds to promote leftist news and now it appears the site isn’t too fond of guns.

According to TruthRevolt, a gun parts shop owner logged into Facebook one day to find his account deleted. Owner T.J. Kirgin called around and found out there were other businesses and friends who had their accounts removed, as well. It looked like an anti-gun pattern to Kirgin. So, he filed several complaints and made multiple appearances on the news to tell his side of the story. It worked because 36 hours later, Kirgin’s page was back online.

But his story doesn’t end there. Kirgin was then banned on Instagram, which is owned by Facebook, for supposedly violating its terms. That meant 221,000 potential customers could no longer view what the store had to offer. Kirgin said that affected at least 20% of his business. The difference with Instagram is that his original account can never be reinstated once it’s been banned, according to Instagram policy.  The store opened a new account under a similar name.

Kirgin told National Review, “They are not telling us what terms we violated, which is just like what they did on Facebook. This was a direct attack on us, just hours after my interview on The Blaze.”

This is just more proof that Facebook, like the media, has a liberal bias and doesn’t care that the First Amendment protects people who like to share things about the Second Amendment. That’s a double penalty in my book.
