Gun sales on Facebook have some gun control groups concerned

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Gun sales on Facebook -- unmonitored and unchecked -- have some gun control groups concerned.

Private firearm sales in the state are legal. But Kathryn Grant, with the group Keep Guns Off Campus, said the lack of background checks, especially in an online Facebook setting, is alarming.

"The fact that people are able to obtain a gun without any scrutiny should be alarming to the campus community," Grant said.

"A constructive law that could help out would be maybe put on a felon's license, because that's what you need to show by law when you're purchasing it, put that they're a violent felon," Cullbreath said.
