Back in the day, you could just run an add in the classified ad sporting goods section of the local newspaper. I was always looking through those adds when I was a kid. Pretty sure that the Moms Demand Tyranny put put an end to that. Slowly but surely, they're choking off our ability to buy, sell, trade, transfer or even inherit lawfully owned firearms. They pretty clearly want our firearms and the second amendment to die with us. I have sold guns on Armslist and I felt like it was a smooth transfer but I just avoid the site now that they've made it subscription based. It just never fails to disappoint and Gun Broker never fails to satisfy (or at least it hasn't for me yet but I'm sure others have been gypped there). Hopefully, Gun Broker survives the coming decades.
