FreeGunShow.com | Free Gun Show | Gun Classifieds | Guns For Sale
FreeGunShow.com is the ultimate gun classifieds, guns for sale, no fees, guns for sale website. Help us support the 2nd Amendment and your right to buy and sell guns and sporting goods online.
Why we started FreeGunShow.com?
For over 10 years the founders of FreeGunShow.com (Cory and Dan) have been online e-tailers in the sporting goods vertical selling thousands of products to thousands of satisfied customers. With extensive manufacturer and B2B distributor relationships, our online stores have thrived in the growing guns and sporting goods verticals.
Recently, companies such as Google, eBay, Amazon, Craigslist, PayPal and others have started to attack the 2nd Amendment and restrict online sellers from participating with their advertising and payment services. In fact, many of our online stores have been completely removed from Google Shopping for violation of new terms of service (anything that is considered a "weapon" or "weapon accessory" bans the entire website!). This has not only happened to us, it has impacted thousands of other reputable online sellers as well. Yes, buyers have their bookmarks and favorite stores, but for new or existing customers trying to price shop this has created a massive void in the marketplace.
Compounding the problem, companies such as Amazon and eBay (if you even can get a gun accessory or sporting goods type product listed -- no guns or ammo allowed at a minimum) are charging as much as 15% to sellers for the privilege to sell on their marketplace. It is really challenging for sellers to make a reasonable profit while paying up to 15% on top of an already tight margin. At the end of the day, customers end up PAYING MORE for products because of these very high marketplace fees and restricted product shopping experiences. With these and other negative factors in mind, we set out to develop and launch a new solution that would solve our own problems plus provide new opportunities for other sellers and buyers.

It’s getting worse for Bob Menendez
It’s getting worse for Bob Menendez
It wasn’t the best weekend for Bob Menendez. On Saturday, a New York Times editorial called on the New Jersey senator to hand in his Foreign Relations Committee gavel while the Senate ethics committee investigates whether he exerted improper influence to help one of his top donors. On Sunday, his home state newspaper, the Star-Ledger, provided an exhaustive history of Menendez’s two-decade relationship with the donor, Florida eye doctor Salomon Melgen, concluding that “when Melgen acts, Menendez reacts.” And this morning, the Times is reporting new details about the specific actions Menendez has taken on behalf of his benefactor.
There’s no smoking gun in the Star-Ledger report, but it details several instances in which an official action by Menendez on Melgen’s behalf was followed by a hefty donation from Melgen to a Menendez-aligned campaign committee. All told, according to the paper, Melgen and his family members have given $50,000 to Menendez over the last two decades and far more to groups that have advanced Menendez’s political interests — $700,000 last year to a super PAC designed to help Democratic incumbents who (like Menendez) were up for reelection in 2012, and over $100,000 last year to county Democratic organizations in New Jersey, which played a major role in turning out the vote for a ticket that Menendez was part of.

Culture of Corruption via Senator Bob Menendez NJ
Culture of Corruption
Caribbean-based company ICSSI had seen its lucrative contract to X-ray the cargo entering the Dominican Republic languish for years when, in 2011, it began searching for an investor with political pull. Perhaps someone with the right connections would be able to pressure the Dominicans into enforcing the contract, which was valued at somewhere between $500 million and $1 billion over 20 years. And that special someone, it seemed, was Salomon E. Melgen, a Dominican-born ophthalmologist and businessman in South Florida, who had acquired a reputation as a powerful and expansive donor to Democratic politicians de los Estados Unidos. Melgen bought a controlling stake in ICSSI. Maybe he could succeed where others had failed.

The feds finally acted after a document shredding truck was spotted outside Melgen’s clinic. I think it’s safe to say a “right-wing blog” didn’t send it.
So far, the magical “D” after Sen. Sleaze-Bob’s name has conferred supernatural immunity upon him. New Jersey Democrats are AWOL. Liberal columnists for the nation’s fishwraps of record remain uninterested. David Letterman was too busy trading fat jokes with donut-munching N.J. Gov. Chris Christie. And Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid stubbornly clung to his assertion this week that Menendez “did nothing wrong.”
But the mountains of Things Menendez Should Have Known But Conveniently Overlooked and Things Menendez Should Have Done But Conveniently Forgot just keep growing. My invitation to Democratic women on Capitol Hill to join Ladies Against Senator Sleaze-Bob still stands. Guess it must have fallen through the cracks.

Port Deal Pushed by Menendez Could Benefit Former Aide, Not Just a Major Donor
By FRANCES ROBLES
SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic — It turns out that the lucrative port security contract pushed by Senator Robert Menendez would enrich more than just a major benefactor.
The contract could also benefit one of the senator’s former top aides, people connected to the deal said.
Mr. Menendez, Democrat of New Jersey, has pushed United States government officials to help enforce a contract that a company owned in part by one of his major donors, Dr. Salomon E. Melgen, has with the Dominican government, which has refused to honor it.
A top executive at Dr. Melgen’s security company will be Pedro Pablo Permuy, a former national security adviser and senior legislative aide to Mr. Menendez, according to a cousin of Dr. Melgen. Mr. Permuy’s ties to the senator go back at least 20 years.
Mr. Permuy did not respond to requests for interviews on Monday, but said in an e-mail that he was neither a board member nor an employee of the border security company.read the complete NY Times article

Meanwhile, the Star-Ledger’s Paul Mulshine’s, a conservative columnist, explains that Menendez, a politician from Hudson County, is in fact like a lot of Hudson County pols:
Last week, Menendez issued a statement denying any contact with prostitutes. That sounds good. But like a lot of Hudson County pols, Menendez does not always have the best memory. When I interviewed him during his first Senate run in 2006, I asked about a rowhouse he owned in the 1980s when he was the mayor of Union City.
When he bought it, the rowhouse was zoned residential. But he sold it years later for commercial use at a big profit. When I asked whether
he got a variance, Menendez couldn’t quite recall.
This time around, the FBI may offer some memory aids.

Hot Russian national "dated" Senator Mendendez ?.
ublic records show that a woman named Svitlana Buchyk got into a minor crash while driving a Chevrolet Impala on Miracle Mile in Coral Gables in 2010. The car belonged to Melgen’s wife. Buchyk gave Melgen’s North Palm Beach address as her own.
Buchyk spoke briefly with a Miami Herald reporter by telephone Thursday, saying she had worked for Melgen in the past.
But Buchyk wouldn’t answer questions on the type of work she did, and was eager to defend Melgen — particularly when asked about stories of Melgen’s alleged sexual liaisons with prostitutes.

more smells coming frm Senator Menendez
Menendez questioned Obama administration officials at a July hearing about what it was doing to help U.S. businesses that he felt were being unfairly treated by the government of the Dominican Republic and other Latin American countries.
One company Menendez was apparently referring to: ICSSI, acquired the year before by Dr. Salomon Melgen, a Palm Beach County eye doctor and friend. The firm was seeking to enforce a contract it had won to X-ray Dominican Republic port cargo, that could be worth $500 million to $1 billion over two decades.

Information made available to Schwartz and Levine at that time included allegations that some of Menendez’s prostitutes were as young as 16. The source also alleged that Sen. Menendez was taking “non-authorized trips” to the Dominican Republic, suggesting that he may have been evading Senate Ethics committee rules covering disclosures when third parties pay for a senator’s travel.

Senate ethics rules and campaign finance laws could apply to the question of how Menendez got to the Dominican Republic, and to his use of a campaign donor’s resources — including a private plane and a home at Casa de Campo.
Menendez donor Salomon Melgen, an ophthalmologist and owner of an eye clinic in Florida, appears to have lent Menendez the use of his plane on several occasions. It is known that Sen. Menendez has been a regular visitor to the Dominican Republic. Menendez was a guest at Melgen’s Casa de Campo home on at least one occasion, according to a news account.
Menendez’s GOP challenger, Republican state Sen. Joe Kyrillos, has called on the senator to release his travel records in the wake of this scandal breaking. The NRSC’s Jesmer echoed that call.

It was recently discovered an FBI inquiry was opened last August to examine the New Jersey Democrat's repeated trips he to took to the DR:
The documents, which The Daily Caller had obtained hours earlier from an anonymous source, also indicate that Carrie Levine, research director at Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), was alerted on April 9, 2012 to Menendez’s habit of paying for sex while outside the United States.
ABC News senior investigative producer Rhonda Schwartz was aware as early as May 2, 2012, the documents show, when Levine wrote a source in the Dominican Republic to say that she had “shared your allegations, but not your identities, with a respected, trusted journalist with whom we have worked on other stories.”

In another email two days later, Levine identified that journalist as one who “works for ABC News.” By May 16, Schwartz was emailing Levine’s original source with questions.
