  It's not the law in Florida either. But E-bays action is nothing new.
Lots of news-papers and TV stations are refusing to carry gun ads, even if
it's a private sale. Funny, since the papers and TV stations are always
screaming about "freedom of the press" when it comes to publishing things
like the names of rape victum or other things that have no reason to be
published.
