Why do some airgun ads stay in the ‘FIREARMS’ category, and others get moved to a category that gets very little attention??

Because some get reported or noticed by staff and others don't.
For the classifieds, we go with the legal (alphabets) definitions.
Air guns are not considered firearms.

Cause we don’t us AI, and we cannot possibly see all ads. We rely on members to help us by reporting threads that need attention.
There doesn't seem to be a good category to which airguns would seem to naturally belong.
They're not accessories for a gun-- they ARE guns.

May I suggest either allowing air guns in the firearms category, or maybe adding a new category? Many airguns are precision machines and prices equal or exceed some firearms. That said, some city governments define firearms as any device that can propel a projectile, which includes airguns and even a slingshot as one city attorney told me!
Also, muzzle loaders aren’t considered firearms yet are listed.

While they may be a "gun", they are not a firearm. Currently they get moved to Outdoor Gear, they may need their own category but it would not be under firearms.
I personally think it's a great idea. There are plenty of us who buy and shoot airguns on here. Finding them in the ad sections are hit or miss.
Neither are muzzleloaders, but they list quite often.
