>Teenagers are buying guns on Facebook, and the company is refusing to make one simple rule that would keep our kids safe.
>Reports have emerged that a 
15 year-old boy in Kentucky bought a 9mm handgun through a dealer 
advertising on Facebook, and took the gun to his high school's 
homecoming game.

>Thankfully, no one was hurt -- but things could have 
gone very differently.

>Google Plus, Craiglist, and 
eBay have all banned gun ads, but Facebook doesn't stop users from 
advertising private gun sales.
