The choice of YouTube to ban videos promoting the arms sales is sparking an important debate. For fans of the sector it is not an easy time for what concerns social networks, but there are those who have thought of a dedicated platform. To avoid the restrictive policies of Facebook, in fact, you can subscribe to Gunbooks.
The website was created three months and by the time it has come to 1200 members: these are mainly British fans, although the presence of Americans is growing. The creator of the internet portal is David Scott, a 57-year-old Scottish hunter who talked about a social network "Designed by shooters for shooters". Several users signed up after other social networks had deleted their profiles due to simple mention of the word "pistol" or "rifle".
The features are very similar to those of Facebook, with lots of profiles, friendships, groups, photo albums and dedicated pages, all free from the typical restrictions of recent years. Among the main groups there is the one formed by hunters, moreover one of the aspects that most fascinates the members is the ability to sell and buy weapons, complying with UK law.
