Why This Rejection Happens

This is a specific subset of the SHAFT policy targeting "Illegal" firearms. While Code 702 covers general firearms marketing, Code 7011 specifically flags content related to unregistered weapons, ghost guns, 3D printed firearm files, or kits designed to bypass firearms regulations.

Common Triggers:

"Ghost Gun" kits (80% receivers).
3D printer files for lower receivers.
Drop-in auto sears (illegal modification parts).
Silencers/Suppressors (highly regulated).

Root Cause Analysis

Regulatory Framework: ATF Regulations; CTIA Principles; Carrier Safety Policies.

Primary Triggers

Liability Avoidance: Carriers absolutely refuse to carry traffic for items that exist to bypass federal registration (ghost guns). This is a hard ban.
Contextual Triggers: If you sell legal gun parts but use language like "untraceable" or "no paperwork," the filters will flag it as illegal activity (7011) rather than just restricted activity (702).

Step-by-Step Remediation

Audit Inventory

If you sell ghost gun kits or auto-sears, stop using 10DLC. There is no remediation.

Correct False Positives

If you sell legal gunsmithing tools but were flagged, change your website copy. Remove words like "unregistered" or "private build." Focus on "repair" and "maintenance." Ensure Age Gate (21+) is active.

Pre-Resubmission Checklist

I confirm I am not selling ghost gun kits.
I have removed language suggesting evasion of laws ("no papers").
