Weapons Policy

Food Prepped prohibits the sale of weapons used to inflict harm. In some cases, an item is unmistakably a violent weapon, but other times, it may be a useful tool, a toy, or a decorative item. This Weapons Policy is based in part on legal standards, as well as whether an item is generally intended to serve a non-weapon function.

Firearms

Food Prepped prohibits the sale of the following:

Guns and firearms, including individual parts
Gun and firearm accessories, including those that affix to the gun in any way
Cannons
Live, blank, and inert ammunition, including empty casings, shells, hulls
Silencers and suppressors
Speed loaders
Directions for 3D printing firearms

Imitation Firearms

Food Prepped Weapons Policy prohibits imitation firearms that are made to resemble actual firearms, as well as any item depicted in such a way that an average person could reasonably mistake it for a real gun. Examples of prohibited imitation firearms include:

Replica or look-alike guns, including toys and airsoft guns
BB guns
Any imitation firearm that fires metal BBs or projectiles

Knives

Food Prepped prohibits the sale of knives that pose a risk of violence, such as those designed to be concealed or quickly deployed. We also prohibit any content that advertises a knife as being intended for violence.

We prohibit the following:

Knives with eject-able blades, such as ballistic knives, and knives with a blade that can be propelled by pressing a button
Automatic opening knives, such as automatic flick knifes and automatic OTF (“out-the-front”) knives, with blades that telescope out from the handle via a spring
Knives that open with centrifugal force, such as butterfly knives, balisong knives, and gravity knives
Knives disguised as something else, such as sword canes or belt buckle knives
Hidden hand blades, such as knuckleduster knives, throwing stars, and daggers with T-shaped handles, like push or punch daggers
Any knife marketed as intended for violence. We don’t allow references within the listing title or details to the knife as an instrument for human or animal. This includes describing an item as being intended for battle, personal protection, safety, or self-defence. Violent content on the packaging, in listing photos, or on the item (blade or handle) itself is also prohibited.

Hand Weapons

Items that are presented as weapons to be used to inflict violence are prohibited. This includes items presented as self-defence tools that are intended to cause bodily harm (even in a non-lethal or defensive context). Food Prepped does not allow the following:

Billy clubs (batons)
Brass knuckles or knuckle dusters
Kubotans and other self-defence sticks
Pepper spray
Nunchaku (num-chuks)
Shuriken
Tasers
Tonfas

Hunting, Archery, and Other Weapons

We prohibit any instrument primarily intended to be used as a weapon to inflict harm, like explosives or poisons.

It is your responsibility as a seller to comply with any regulations that apply to your products. We recommend that you speak to an expert or lawyer if you have questions about complying with the law.
