Gun Sellers Find New Tactic to Avoid Facebook's Limits on Selling Guns

Gun sellers have adopted a new tactic to attract buyers on Facebook Inc.’s Marketplace — a year after Democratic lawmakers called on Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg to more-effectively police the site’s ban on firearm sales. A new tactic involves posts purporting to sell stickers, alongside images of gun makers’ logos. Sellers typically ask an interested party to send a private message via the service for more information. Several sellers contacted by the Journal responded to say they were actually selling guns, not stickers, and provided details and pricing.
