Removal Requests & DMCA

If something on GunList should not be here — a listing, a photo, or a link to your site — tell us and we will take it down. You do not need a lawyer, a formal notice, or to explain why.

This page covers both an informal removal process and a formal notice-and-takedown procedure under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512). Use whichever fits — the informal route is faster, and we honor it the same as a formal one.

Email info@gunlist.us with the listing URL, or the domain if you want an entire source excluded going forward.

A person reads these, not a filter. We aim to act on individual listings within 2 business days, and domain-level exclusions are applied on the next crawl cycle after we confirm the request.

Some listings shown on GunList are aggregated from publicly visible pages on third-party classifieds and forum sites, and every such result links back to the original page so buyers transact directly with you or your users. Our crawler respects robots.txt, is rate-limited, and does not continuously re-crawl a page once it has been indexed.

You can stop this at any time, for any reason, and neither route below requires a legal threat:

• Email info@gunlist.us with your domain and we exclude it going forward. We do not ask for justification.
• Use the removal form below. It is logged and routed directly to the people who run the crawler, so it cannot be lost or overlooked.

An exclusion is permanent unless you tell us otherwise. We keep a record of every domain-level request so that a future change to the crawler cannot quietly start indexing it again.

If your listing was posted directly on GunList, it belongs to you — remove or mark it sold from your account and it will disappear from search immediately.

If your listing lives on an external site and only appears here as an indexed result, deleting or marking it sold at the source is usually enough; the entry drops from our index at the next refresh. If it lingers, or you want it out of search results right away, use the form below and we will remove it on our end without waiting for the next crawl.

GunList is a classifieds and listings platform that hosts user-submitted content and, separately, indexes publicly visible listings from third-party sites. If you believe material accessible through GunList infringes a copyright you own, you may proceed formally under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c) by sending a written notice to our designated agent (below) containing:

• A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf;
• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed;
• Identification of the material you claim is infringing and enough information for us to locate it — a direct URL is the most reliable way;
• Your address, telephone number, and email address;
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
• A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

A notice missing these elements may not qualify as a valid DMCA notice under § 512, but we act on incomplete or informal requests anyway through the process above — we do not make takedown speed depend on legal formality.

Send formal notices under § 512 to our designated agent at info@gunlist.us, subject line "DMCA Notice". Our full designated agent registration is in progress; until it is filed with the U.S. Copyright Office, this address is the correct point of contact for all copyright notices.

If we removed your content in response to a claim you believe was mistaken or misdirected, you may submit a counter-notice under § 512(g) to the same agent, including:

• Your physical or electronic signature;
• Identification of the material that was removed and where it appeared before removal;
• A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification; and
• Your name, address, telephone number, and a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your district (or, if outside the U.S., an appropriate judicial district), and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice.

Upon a valid counter-notice, we may restore the material within 10-14 business days unless the original complainant files a court action seeking to restrain you first.

In line with our Terms & Rules, GunList disables or terminates, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users determined to be repeat infringers, and may permanently exclude source domains that generate repeated, unresolved infringement claims.
