Hmm. Let's see. Wacko shoots people with a modified blank firing pistol and the news since then has been all about control of illegal guns and crackdowns on online sales ... so let's agree to sell a modified blank firing pistol to someone anonymous online ... who turns out to be the police ...

Are blank pistols different from regular pistol? In ALL countries FB marketplace / FB should monitor gun sales and any without a legal license to sell be blocked.
