Here's there message:
Dear T,
As if it wasn’t already too easy for dangerous people to get their hands on guns -- now a new app for iPhone and Android users makes it even easier.
TacSwipe is designed to let people buy and sell guns and gun accessories to strangers in their area -- no questions asked.
The app provides no information for getting background checks -- leaving it up to buyers and sellers to do the right thing. In fact, they don’t even mention background checks at all - not even in the terms and conditions where the developers try to absolve themselves from anything that happens with items sold on the app. And, while the app recommends that you don’t download it unless you are 17 or older, there is no way to prevent this - and in most areas, you need to be 18 to buy a gun.
Apple and Android have rejected many apps before because of simulated violence. Tell them today to reject this app that could cause real-world violence and even death!
Thank you,
Dan

The contact button goes to their page; an apparent petition.

If you feel so inclined, you could let the app stores know you'd be interested, and ask them not to kowtow.
