So since google, IS ANDROID, and Google play is the #1 primary way to get apps on your droid device (like Itunes for apple), they are in effect restricting developers and Droid users 1A rights by not allowing certain forms of communication based on personal bias. In this day and age of electronic printing devices, it is not really any different than if a printer Mfg suddenly made it so that their printers will not print out the word Gun, or Ammo, etc.
So one has to wonder, where does the line sit in regards to 1A when a primary / only source of programming suddenly decides to restrict what they allow to be sourced. What about Apps like Strelok and the like, they are 100% entirely gun related, are they next? this is why it is important to read your terms of service agreements, the consumer agrees to this before they use the phone/OS/app.

You can sell guns on the Craigslist app, right? I'm not talking about a workaround, just another app that accomplishes the same thing. Maybe they should block the CL app, just to be sure.

And Facebook for that matter. Is is completely possible to facilitate a legal gun purchase over Facebook. Through a ffl of course, just like gunbroker. Go ahead google, shut down Facebook.

Craigslist has a no gun policy.

Thanks for the clarification. I don't use CL much and didn't know they had a no-gun policy. Still curious how the Google Play store will address any other apps that allow people to list guns for sale.
