Any more than it's your bank's business, or your credit card company's business. Paypal plays like they want to be a financial services company, but they've got a way to go, and may never get out of ebay's shadow.
I suspect paypal's rules re a mirror of ebay's and a hold-over of ebay's policy on firearms, since paypal is owned by ebay. Ebay is totally unable to insure there transactions are legitimate and items for sale are not stolen merchandise to begin with. Gun transactions they must believe are the third rail for them attracting lawsuits that they can't/don't want to handle, they've probably got enough litigation on what they do already.
