Super64 Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 It looks like Freeads has removed all gun ads, airsoft, airgun, replicas, everything. When I search it says “your search for guns has been blocked”. But, it then goes on about certain types of dogs being banned in the U.K. Not sure if this is a permanent thing, or just temporary, but it’s a shame as it was a good resource for buying and selling. So that’s another avenue down.
Macv276 Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 Looks like their rules were modified today. Cut and pasted from their website: "10. No guns (of any kind, including air guns), shooting services including pest control, or any weaponry accessories"
Super64 Posted February 20, 2020 Author Posted February 20, 2020 I don’t know what’s happened to make them change their rules. This countries hatred of firearms and distrust of people interested in firearms is a joke.
heroshark Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 Ah bum, was a good place to pick up old springers.
Super64 Posted February 20, 2020 Author Posted February 20, 2020 There was always a good variety of all types of guns and accessories in the different sections. A lot that I’d not seen on other sites. It’s going to be a miss.
Weeman Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 Yes it is was, quite often some good stuff has popped up on there with out fear of trolling ?
Cromulon1994 Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 Possibly a knee jerk to the shooting in Germany? Showing that the EU's newest firearms directive has stopped bad people getting guns.

This countries hatred of firearms and distrust of people interested in firearms is a joke. Yup, and for this reason I want out. In my shooting career, I've seen everything from the handgun ban to absurd restrictions on deactivated firearms. I'm currently in the Czech Republic and the attitude here is completely different!
enzo47 Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 there was some stuff on there i was about to buy now can't find them lol. should gave a warning !!!
Enid_Puceflange Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 Yup, I used to check it quite frequently looking for something different picked a couple of items up for sensible money pity ?♂️
Guest Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 Oh well, with this and usedairsoft disappearing, looks like we’re even more restricted than ever

One moment it was there, the next it vanished. I understand the guy ran it for free and basically made no money off it, but it was a good site
Supporters Rogerborg Posted February 21, 2020 Supporters Posted February 21, 2020 Awaits the flood of "fuly upgarded[*]" lime green L96s hitting the classifieds here. [*] Scope and bipod.
AK47frizzle Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 Damn. Occasionally there were really good deals. I guess here and discord and the only decent places left (fuck zeroin).
#blackadder Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 What is Discord? All I can find is an App for online games chat . How can you advertise on that?
Cromulon1994 Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 I, for one, am really quite pleased that used airsoft, and now free ads have gone. Means I actually have money.

Yep, same here. There were a couple of HK45CT’s on there that I was eyeing up for payday. Hopefully they’ll end up on one of the other forums ?

PrometheusX Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 Freeads took down their entire airsoft and paintball section for "safety" and "family friendliness" They dont want to be seen to advertise "weapons" Well ok in that case take off any object that can be used to hurt someone. Knives, axes, baseball bats, golf clubs, cars. These all do a lot more harm than a god damn bb gun. How many deaths a year are caused by an airsoft gun? And how many are caused by stabbings and rta? Yeh... This kinda carebear shit really pisses me off in the UK.
EDcase Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 That is shite. The only positive thing I can think of in this situation is that airsoft forums like ours will get more traffic. ...Prepare for the 'Airsoft Dreamers of the Week' thread to EXPLODE... ?
PrometheusX Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 I hope so. Ive bought all my rifs 2nd hand from various sites including this one. Usedairsoft is gone and now freeads. Its a daily ritual of mine to go to the sites and look for something i need or a bargain i didnt think i needed hah. In america, amazon and ebay have real guns and also airsoft. Over here, they are too scared to even contemplate it which is hilarious.
Supporters Adolf Hamster Posted February 22, 2020 Supporters Posted February 22, 2020 We're an easy target, because everyone who likes guns/gun shaped objects is the same as the shooters that pop up in the daily mail on a weekly basis.
Guest Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 All valid, but we do already have a thread on this very subject
Mostly Retired Moderators L3wisD Posted February 22, 2020 Mostly Retired Moderators Posted February 22, 2020 I've merged the two freead discussion threads together. We didn't need two.
PrometheusX Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 Oh yeh. Glad i wasnt the only one that noticed.
