American Gun Trader Manifesto
Defending Liberty. Enabling Sovereignty. Preserving Privacy.
At American Gun Trader, we stand resolutely on the foundation laid by the Founding Fathers:
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed."
This is not just a statement of principle. It is our mandate.
Our platform exists to ensure that this right is neither eroded by bureaucracy nor nullified by surveillance. We empower free Americans to buy, sell, and trade firearms without interference from gatekeepers, middlemen, or federal registries.
We do not require identification, background checks, or FFL transfers to use our marketplace. Why? Because the Constitution doesn't.
Our Infrastructure: Beyond the Reach of Tyranny
American Gun Trader operates on a hardened privacy-first infrastructure:
-
• Data Hosting in Iceland
Iceland is one of the last truly independent nations that enshrines press freedom and privacy in its legal DNA. Its strong data protection laws shield against overreach from foreign governments — especially the U.S. -
• Cook Islands Trust Ownership
The corporate entity behind American Gun Trader is held in a Cook Islands trust, a jurisdiction renowned for refusing to honor foreign civil judgments and requiring domestic legal action before any compliance with court orders. This means we do not, and will not, hand over user data to American authorities unless both an Icelandic and a Cook Islands court independently compel us. That standard has never been met — and we are built to make sure it stays that way. -
• Libertarian Ownership
Our founder and leadership are unapologetically libertarian. We believe in self-sovereignty, voluntary exchange, and the right to privacy — in both speech and arms. We built this platform because no one else would. And no one else could — not without selling out your data to the very institutions you distrust.
Why These Jurisdictions?
The United States is no longer a safe jurisdiction for free markets in firearms. With growing digital surveillance, corporate censorship, and politicized law enforcement, true Second Amendment commerce needs refuge. So we chose:
- Iceland, for its legal protection of digital speech and its refusal to participate in global censorship regimes.
- The Cook Islands, for its ironclad trust laws and rejection of U.S. legal overreach.
Together, these jurisdictions allow us to do what no U.S.-hosted platform can:
Guarantee our users a firearms marketplace without compromise, without registration, and without fear of exposure.
Our Pledge
We will never:
- Require government ID
- Require a federal dealer intermediary
- Retain or share transaction records with any authority
- Comply with U.S. demands absent due process in both Iceland and the Cook Islands
American Gun Trader is more than a platform. It's a digital front line in the war for American liberty.
We will not comply. We will not back down.
And we will never betray the trust of our users.
If you're a gay pussy, than go broke on Gun Broker or something.
Buy. Sell. Trade. Free.
Because the Constitution doesn't need permission.
