The Gun Counter

Facebook prompted me to verify my account was authentic today (which I of course failed because they choose the people verification from ALL of your friends!). My wife checked for my account and I'm definately disabled.

Looks like I'm not alone either. Jeff Soyer of Alphecca.com is also having the same issue. I wouldn't be surprised if some anti-gunner is doing it.

Anyone else had any problems?

Eh, make a call. FB is pretty good about staying out of politics, (And Zuckerburg is, publicly, a hunter.)

I'm not saying someone didn't figure out how to game a program, but I doubt its a policy.

Nothing here... and I am pretty outspoken on FB when it comes to 2A stuff.

You're not the only one, Rumpshot is right up there too! Much more outspoken than I am, but he's also not looking for work right now.

Wonder if posting a neener on Mark Kelly's Facebook tipped 'em over the edge

Was it a real request from FB or a phishing attempt?

Seems to have been real. Seem to remember having to do it before, but I had only a few people on my friend list at the time, which made passing the verification straightforward.

Perhaps it might have something to do with the activity level of your account? Do you rarely post anything, and with long periods in between? I'm just guessing why, fishing for a reason why they might do something like that to your account.

Forget FB, we still love you.

Back in now. Was able to try the verification this morning.
