What gives Walmart the right to set the age to buy a gun?

[silver gurl]

There's a price for those discounts, and that price is the low wages that they pay their workers, less market choice, money to fund their anti-worker lobbying, and their union busting BS.

Perhaps. But I live in Quebec, high prices and one of the highest taxed areas in North America, I believe.

I have to go by prices.

This.

Walmart makes its money on the back of the tax payers, not on the cheesy shit they sell.

You go "by prices", and the unseen price is that you screw over workers and worker's rights, along with mom and pop stores, and your taxes will be higher when their workers need to use more social services because they're not getting paid enough to live on.

If you don't see a value in worker's rights, or a healthy vibrant economy in your town, perhaps that's the reason why walmart opened up there in the first place?

Not many places to shop in this area, to be honest.

I can’t afford Tide at $25 at the local IGA grocery store. Walmart has it for $14.00.
Toilet paper $18.00. Walmart 4.99 to 8.99.
Greeting cards 8.99, Walmart 2.99

It makes a Big difference.
Consider our gas, $5.00 to 6.00 a gallon.
Milk $6.00 a gallon.
A loaf of bread $5.00
Chicken breast 3 pack can be $18.00

I do business with Walmart and yes, they are a mess.

But I have to do my personal business and what makes the most sense on my checking account. My family and budget means more to me.

I also like to support the local independents but if they are double or triple the price, unfortunately I can’t justify it.

Meat, I go to the local mon Boucher.

How much have your taxes gone up since you started shopping at walmart?

If it's considerable, you might want to start looking into why.

Have independent stores in your area closed? Have you wondered why?

Also, if you're that broke that you are forced to shop at walmart, maybe stop buying greeting cards, and make your own?

I cannot honestly answer that question. I moved to Quebec 7 years ago. Again, one of the highest taxes in North America. It hasn’t changed since I live here.

When we can, we drive over the boarder and shop there. Even with the looney down, we still get incredible bargains. Quebec is crazy experience. Levi’s $110? It took me a few years to figure how to shop here.

First of all I am not broke. Lol. Do the math. 6 greeting cards can be $60 dollars vs $18.00. I do common sense.

Not many independents here. Very few shopping choices in Quebec. It is quite different than the US. You really can’t compare. You have so many choices, along with Amazon. Amazon.Ca is no value here

The best we have is Walmart and Costco.

I understand where you come from. In the States Walmart wiped out independents and small business.

Here it is very different.

Less market choice? LOL put the crack pipe down.

WalMart has been bangin' away for decades and they've done well no doubt.

But in spite of that you and I have more market choices today, right now, worldwide, than any other human beings that have EVER existed and it is continuing to grow.

How is she screwing over workers or worker's rights?

How is she screwing mom and pop stores???

your taxes will be higher when their workers need to use more social services because they're not getting paid enough to live on.

Only if jackass's send their beloved government to go rob everyone for them....usually in the name of equality!

NO, you can't.

Abramski v. U.S.

Per the US SupCt, purchasing a firearm for someone else is a Federal Felony. It is a straw man purchase and violates the Gun Control Act of 1968. Nor can States make laws which override Federal laws.

On top of that, the 2016 version of the form says RIGHT THERE IN BOLD LETTERS that you cannot purchase the firearm for someone else.

When you buy a gun for a spouse or child, YOU still "own" the firearm and the spouse or child only uses it with your permission until it is transferred to them. You cannot purchase the firearm with the intent of immediately transferring it to another even if the person receiving the firearm is not a prohibited person.

What you can do is give the intended recipient the money to buy the gun themselves.

You should really read the article and form 4473.
It clearly says

Abramski made the purchase to get a policeman’s price discount to save his uncle money.

That is illegal, It wasn't a gift it was a straw purchase.
If Abramski had used his own money and given it as a gift it would have been legal as clearly stated on ATF E-Form 4473 (5300.9).
The article you linked to confirms what I said.

If Abramski purchased the gun on his own, then decided to give it to his uncle as a free gift, that would be legal. Or if Abramski bought it for himself, then the following week decided to sell it to his uncle, that would be legal. But because his uncle wrote him a check for the gun before Abramski went to the store to buy the gun, and thus was acting as his uncle’s agent to buy a gun, Abramski committed a crime.

Yea, the government did such a great job prosecuting Hillary for her crimes (divulging classified information, running a 'pay to play' state department with contributions to the Clinton Foundation getting the desired access, and a few dead opponents), so go ahead and play the 'government is our friend' card - LOL

When are you going to rail about the Trump family's pay-to-play that actually goes in to their own pockets rather than to a charity?
Or Trump's use of charitable donations for personal expenses?

 

[WoundedKnee]

Who has to rail against Trump when there is already a daily rail from all of the usual suspects. Hell, some of you seem to know more about Trump than your own professions. That cannot be a healthy tic.

Oh, right. Yeah, that makes sense.
In fact, very good point, no one ever rails about Hillary here, thanks for keeping us on our toes.

Just kidding. You've proved, again, you're just a partisan stooge.

Is there a job title for what you people do? Professional Railer?

You know, you really need to stop trying to prove you're right despite reality.

Coach said:

...who’s to stop someone from buying a Walmart rifle for a 19 year old? So long as the 19 year old has the legal right to buy it, the sale is legal, and it’s still a 19 y/o with a Walmart rifle.

Note that he didn't say "buy it and give it as a gift." YOU went and injected those words into what he said and are now trying like hell to prove that you're right and everyone else is wrong about a subject the rest of us aren't talking about.

That was pretty much my first thought too.. I mean, I like their jackets and rain gear, but I wouldn't even begin to think of them in terms of guns or ammo. Kind of like looking for Twinkies at Whole Foods..
