Online retailer Etsy banned all gun accessories from being sold on its website, expanding its prohibition on weapon sales.
The online marketplace, best known for selling handmade crafts and vintage items, said it started the expanded ban Tuesday.

“Etsy has long prohibited the sale of weapons, including guns and most gun parts. We are expanding enforcement to include all gun parts and accessories that attach to a firearm. We take the safety of our marketplace very seriously, and we regularly revisit our policies and make adjustments in accordance with industry, legal, and regulatory standards,” an Etsy spokesperson told the Washington Examiner.
The company notified affected sellers of the updated rules, who are being given two weeks to tweak their inventory to comply with the policy before items will be removed from the site.
Etsy prohibits the sale of firearms, gun parts, cannons, live and blank ammunition, silencers, speedloaders, and directions for the 3D printing of guns.

Storage items for such items may be sold if they’re not attached to a weapon, which may include cases and racks or holsters.
