Is Paypal really anti-gun? Or are they just covering their tails from legal action like a smart company dealing with financial transactions should? Their accepted policies prohibit a fairly large batch of other activities that could blow back on them also:

At one time I boycotted them on the anti-gun idea. Over the years, I was coaxed into a transaction or two that the only realistic way to reasonably handle things invoved Paypal.
In recent times, I see more and more small business and personal transactions using Paypal. I'm referring to folks that handle and deal gun related stuff, (obviously not firearms purchases.)
When transactions are handled as a "gift," all that is noted is a financial transaction between individuals. Arguably the way any two individuals would want to handle a private transaction of most sorts. No different than cash, check or money orders without a description.
My googling shows that a lot of folks across the interwebs either believe that Paypal is not anti-gun or really don't care. Using the the best known easily and widely accepted way to do financial transactions INSTANTLY overrides whatever debatable beliefs a company may or may not have.
In the past year I have used Paypal for a lot more of my transactions. Personal transactions that are done online, involving shipping, are more and more done with Paypal. The INSTANT ease of use combined with the Post Office getting less efficient daily, make me consider basing financial offers on whether or not the seller/purchaser uses Paypal.
What say you?
