Figgered that wouldn't take long

"The refusal came four days before the retail chain publicly announced its new sales policy for firearms..."

So what are you saying

Can they sell alcohol to a 15yo if they don't announce its policy not to?

The law says he can buy a gun...whats it to them to decide he can't
This shit is filtering into Canada too and it pisses me off

No, of course not. That's the big discussion though. If something is legal, can those doing public business discriminate against the legal? Right now, it seems that many want to judge it on a case-by-case basis, but then, that is not rule of law. If you use government to coerce business to follow the law when you approve of that coercion, then you have no moral high ground on which to preach from when it comes to a business decision to defy the law. This is, I think, an issue that relates directly to issues like sanctuary cities and drug legalization.

I love this. Most of the time people of a certain mindset credit President Obama with "saving the economy" but would never admit that it was Bush that started the turn-around and Obama just glommed onto the recovery in process, retarding that recovery with green initiatives and wild spending on "shovel-ready" projects that it turns out weren't all that shovel ready, almost every penny going to his base of supporters.

"shovel-ready" was ARRA. You have a deplorable memory as well.

So President Obama just took credit for something he didn't do? More than once?

Age is pretty much a constant for all sorts of things - last time I checked, you couldn't get married or buy alcohol until you were a certain age, and the first one, like some other stuff that's limited by age, is a basic human right according to the UN definition. Here, insurers regularly charge people under 25 more to insure their cars.
Is there not something about having a 'good reason' to refuse certain customers? I mean, it seems pretty obvious that giving guns to people who aren't quite adults yet is perfectly reasonable, but I honestly can't see a 'good reason' to refuse to bake a cake for two guys apart from your own morality. (And yes, I know these are all grey areas, but the law is full of grey areas that get thrashed out in court, on the basis of what a 'reasonable person' would think.)

I agree - but it not Walmart's decision to make.

 

[WoundedKnee]

This was Dick's not Walmart. But we see how your mind works. Walmart. NRA. AR15.
yada yada yada

I responded to the comment about the banks being "too big to fail" legislation which the poster said was Obama. It was not. It was the Economic Recovery Act signed by Bush.

ARRA (aka "let's fund shovel ready projects") was Obama and it did saves us from a recession.

And yes both of you have deplorable memories.

Go Google a big word to use in your next post.

 

[SissySalina]

Raise the draft age to 21, and you'll get less of an justifiable outcry.

The draft age has nothing to do if you don't draft anyone.
Its been an all volunteer military for years.

ARRA was a total waste of resources, and as I pointed out, eventually even President Obama had to admit that, so it did not save the economy, which was rebounding before he took office and the "deplorable" memory is the one which conveniently overlooks that reality. Obama dod not "save" the economy, as I said, he retarded it. After eight years of his leadership we were told that under 2% growth was the new normal and that we had to adapt to "reality." That's one of the main reasons that Hillary lost. She was saddled with a legacy of "America is out of business."

I would like to point out tangentially, that only those who gender-identify as males are still forced, by law, to register for the draft. (Okay, some of that is TIC.)

Then it shouldn't be a big deal to change the draft age to 21, should it?

 

[Carnal_Flower]

It's "normal" country kids in Wyoming who go shoot up schools.

So yeah, 16 yr olds should be able to waltz in and get assault rifles

They should only have age restrictions on fucked up city kids who want to buy rifles. If you're a normal country kid in Wyoming and you want to shoot your dinner, you should be able to get a gun at 16 like usual.

Hell, INSTITUTE a draft and a lot of this gun fetish will fall by the wayside.

It's not a gun fetish and it's instituting a draft wouldn't make it fall by the wayside.

Can they charge higher prices to people who aren't NRA members? That seems very unfair.

It is and it will. Feel free to pretend otherwise. Your grasp on reality has always been rather tenuous at best.

Sorry. I know that for you the myth is true that President Obama "saved" the economy. However, in order to defend him, you made the case that the heavy lifting was done under President Bush, which it was, and the economy was already rebounding. Once in office, all Obama did was go on a spending spree for his cronies and pet projects while going after the energy sector at the same time. That's why, once he was no longer President, the economy took off. It's called human action. People make financial decisions and invest based upon the government and policies they live under. Obama's policies were not friendly to business, so business hunkered down, took Capital off the table and decided to wait him out. Furthermore, Obama wasted Capital that we did not have into his pet projects, but an understanding of economics tells you that a business created artificially by a glut of money soon collapses once the money is used up. That happened too.

The problem you have is that you had these ideas about Obama so comfortably compartmentalized that unwittingly you had to spit out the truth of the matter in order to defend the myth.

You're the one who constantly makes up lies about me while resorting to racial slurs when facts give you some heavy duty butt hurt. So very Texas of you.

No, it's not a fetish, you're projecting your insecurities.

The draft didn't discourage gun ownership in the past, no evidence that one today would either.

You're the one with the fickle grasp on reality.

Another name for it is Freedom. And the goal of all Socialist's ne Communists is to restrict freedom to the greatest extent possible so as to be able to control all aspects of financial interactions. It's their attempt to recreate another Eden without snakes..........or apples. The face of the planet is littered with the wreckage of their efforts.

Defense contractors start wars and slaughter millions trying to confiscate all property for the glory of the state/party and suppress the exchange of goods and services in the name of egalitarianism ?

Since the fuck when?

Can you point to a single solitary example of this ever happening?

 

[jaF0]

No, they do it in the name of profit.

A 'single one'? You mean every one since the mid 50s when defense contractors started running things after WWII and Korea?
