One could find legal 10-round magazines for popular assault rifle models such as the AR-15 and the AK-47, in various materials and designs an “enhanced mag pull” intended to promote “quick and fumble-free magazine changes,” and an olive-drab tactical vest for holding up to eight such magazines at a time. In recent weeks, as shooters embarked on deadly rampages in Gilroy, El Paso and Dayton, Ohio, a shopper on EBay could buy a variety of products designed to make the types of weapons used in those attacks as deadly as possible. That language leaves plenty of gray area that sellers are happy to exploit.
Its marketplace rules prohibit only “products that mention capability with an assault weapon, even if the part or accessory fits non-assault weapons.” And it specifically bars parts and accessories for assault rifles, which California banned in 1989 and further restricted in 2016.īut while its larger rival Amazon enumerates a long list of banned items including ammunition magazines, pistol grips, flash suppressors and folding stocks - the components that separate assault weapons from legal rifles in California’s eyes - EBay takes a hazier approach. The auction site prohibits sellers on its marketplace from offering complete firearms of any kind, from varmint guns to Glocks.
EBay, the state’s biggest e-commerce company, would like to give the impression it takes a similarly hard-line stance on them. California has the toughest gun laws of any state, particularly when it comes to the types of weapons used in a spate of recent mass shootings.
