Established in 1999, GunBroker.com is one of the world's largest online marketplace for firearms.[2]
GunBroker.com was founded by Steven F. Urvan after eBay started restricting gun sales.[3][4] Urvan ran the company until it was acquired by Ammo, Inc in 2021.[5]At the closing of merger, it had $60 million in revenue and 6 million registered users.[4]
On January 3, 2023, now-parent company AMMO, Inc. appointed Jared Smith as the company's Chief Operating Officer & President.[6] Fred Wagenhals is Chairman/CEO of GunBroker.com via AMMO, Inc.[7][8][9]
GunBroker.com has sometimes been used to study trends in firearm sales.[10]
In 2023, Steven Urvan sued Ammo, Inc claiming it duped him into selling GunBroker.com for $240 million in exchange for 17% stake in the company.[4]
GunBroker.com partnered with USA Shooting for the Olympics. Several lawmakers called out to the Olympics to cut ties with GunBroker.com because of Nazi memorabilia listed for sale on GunBroker.com.[14]
