E-bay gun parts restrictions affect my book.

 If you were planning that AR15 build in your life then it would be well to start now. Many gun parts that were available are no longer and what is left is very restricted. Some parts are not available from the manufactures because of the mad rush to buy parts and other parts are not listed to satisfy internet restrictions. Private people listed lots of takeoff parts from their guns when they upgraded their guns. These listing have all but dried up.  My gun book for example if you type in the name using google and click on the e-bay listing it is listed as sold out on e-bay so you must type in e-bay and then the name of the book American Handbook on Guns Ammo and Freedom to find it and yes you need the whole name . The Amazon link for my book still works directly but is listed as one available making it look like it is out of print and here too the whole name must be applied. Other gun books are not as politically charged as mine and currently appear to be left alone. What e-bay is doing is to use California gun restriction laws applied to sellers of gun parts and the products e-bay represent for the sellers.  To appreciate what is not there now you would have needed to see what was at one time available. Get what you need now while you can for your gun, or do without later. 

Gun Book Internet Censorship

 Some of the problem I have faced in promoting my book. Strange to note the Internet controls on guns and gun information not faced by other blogs and sites that are not gun related. Many blog sites are given top ratings simply asking a single question about guns or gun processes like bullet casting or reloading. 6 or 8 comments are made and at the bottom they restrict any further comment or threads. If you type in gun books many gun books appear but many other books are mixed in which are not gun related in any way. So there is no avenue to make a book known if the public do not know what it is called. There is no list of gun books for people to shop from. One gun breakdown instruction manual of an obscure gun lists the small number sold like more than 35 the last time I looked and has a near the top listing. Gun books sold on Amazon may have a list of 1 available which makes it look as though the book is out of print.   

The controls desired by political leaders is to stop independent gun information on the Internet and some have expressed that gun information should be censored as soon as possible. In less you have written a gun book you could not appreciate the uphill battle we gun writers are facing. My book is on its third printing and sells well at gun shows but Internet sells are almost nonexistent. My blog site for the most part gets 3 or 4 hits on a post and never gets a hit again.
