Wasn't sure about throwing this in Press, as it's not a bitcoin or mainstream media source. So basically, Coinbase changed their policy and didn’t tell anybody. They simply shut down the accounts of any firearms-related dealers who were doing business with them. They lacked the courtesy to even send us a letter or email after the fact. This was the only mainstream Bitcoin processor that we know of that did business with the firearms industry. The Obama administration’s Operation Chokepoint seems to be having its intended effect. We will have to stop accepting Bitcoin because we now have no other Second Amendment-friendly Bitcoin processor to turn to. tl;dr 80% Arms doesn't actually sell guns, Coinbase choked their BTC revenue stream anyway, just as the government wanted them to. local rule: no anti-civil/human right to self-defense replies, they will be deleted.That's the great thing about BTC. You don't really need an outside party to accept BTC payments. The people who run that company can easily hire a programmer or use one of the readily avalable tools to accept payments directly to their own Bitcoin wallet. Need to ask 80% Arms if they want fiat instantly above all, or if they want to take the exchange rate risk and hold BTC long enough to pay suppliers and/or customers (though if they're not buying customers' used guns with fiat for resale in the first place...) |

Because if a criminal wants a gun they are going to get it, law or no law. If the criminal has a gun I want one too.
It's much, much easier in America. In the UK we barely have any gun crime. Because guns are much, much harder to get hold of. It's not rocket science. Because getting murdered/raped/maimed/etc with anything other than a gun (at the highest rate in Europe, last I heard) is morally superior to lawfully shooting a violent criminal (and likely not killing them) in self-defense. |

"Gun free zones" for all but mass murderers and lesser violent criminals.

If guns were only made to kill, then they are defective most of the time as most GSWs are not fatal. Gun control only disarms law-abiding, mentally-sound, sober victims for criminals' safety. Do you think criminals with billions of pints of innocent blood on their hands have any compunction about the fabrication of statistics that "justify" disarming only their innocent victims, despite all proof beyond any reasonable doubt to the contrary?

If you'd like to use the easiest script I could find with a stable accurate price index (that won't go to hell just because a single exchange goes down), try adding this to your OP so I can delete (and do not excessively bump to thank me for this post): $25 =  Just enter this line of code where you want each price to be: [img]http://btc-priceimg.herokuapp.com/img/25[/img] |

The topic's kind of a mess now. Do you want to delete your previous replies and put all relevant information and price converter images in the OP?
