You can drive at 16 but can't buy a gun till 21.

So no one has ever died because of teen drivers.


Interesting.

I didn't say that. We as a society decided that 16 was old enough to drive and that 18 was old enough to join the military and that 21 was old enough to drink. We as a society need to discuss how old someone needs to be to buy a gun. Then we'll make a law about it. We already did, but we're talking about it now.

However my main point here is who cares if Dick's won't sell you a gun but another store will...grow a pair and go to the other store. How lazy is this person?

Public Accommodation

It's people like this special snowflake that feel entitled for everything in life instead of working for it, that is one of the biggest problems in this country.

No. The biggest problem is arbitrary laws based on nothing but emotions.

But if it makes you feel better, then go for it.

Or the kid can go to any of the other dozens of gun shops in the area. Wasn't that the argument with the whole wedding cake thing?

For your information, I believe a bakery should have the option to serve or not serve anyone they choose. It's their own business that they're affecting with such choices.

Didn't work then so why should it now?

a reply to: neo96

Yet you believe it should have worked then, no? Me too.

a reply to: 3NL1GHT3N3D1

What I believe is the usual suspects should stop trying to make people guilty of a crime they didn't commit.

See a 20 year old living in Portland Oregon.

It's interesting that Florida shot down the assault weapons ban a few days ago.

Me too, so I think they should stop discriminating against toddlers and allow them to buy alcohol and dive cars. What toddler has ever killed anyone from drunk driving? In fact I've never killed anyone from drunk driving so why is it illegal for me to drive drunk? The inhumanity of it all!

There is no precedent set.... but it takes a lawsuit to set a precedent. Depending on how this goes, if it's shown to have merit and go to court, it could potentially work it's way up the system. If it's shown to have no merit and the case is dismissed, then that's that. Boom, this case will set precedent either way you look at it. It has a chance, as stated that he is legally allowed to purchase a firearm. Purchase/ownership of a firearm is a constitutionally protected right. Hell, Purchasing a Cake isn't a protected right, but that still went to court.

We'll just wait and se how this all goes.

We all know it will be dismissed if it makes it to the 9th circuit court of appeals, however, seeing how the rest of the Court judges read case law while the 9th circuit judges read Dr. Seuss Books.........

Ditto.

Raise the age of abortion.

But this isn't a law, we're talking about. It's one store that raised their age limit to buy guns. A gun can be a big expense. $600 or more, that's lowballing it. You mean to tell me this guy is too lazy to drive to, probably a better store, with a more informed staff to buy his gun? That's lazy and that's the entitled attitude todays population has. This guy is pathetic.

We'll just call it a late term abortion. Raise the age to 22.... what's that, the 69th trimester or something?

Remember when the right was agreeing about what a private business can do in regards to gay couples...basically it is their right to not comply when it comes to individuals or laws and if gays don't like ti they can go to another establishment.

Now they are on here arguing that a business must comply.

Hypocrisy yes but an old saying comes to mind as well..."it's somebody else's problem till it happens to you"..or something like that.

Hey, that sounds fine with me as long as it doesn't include rape victims. If someone is old enough to make the decision to have unprotected sex consensually then they should be old enough to live with the risks and consequences of such a decision. Give it up for adoption if anything, the medical bills are the consequences of such a lapse in judgement.

So answer my question. Would you be ok with toddlers being allowed to drink alcohol and drive cars while doing so? What about me? They and I have never killed anyone drunk driving so why are we discriminated against?

Then an 18 year old should be able to buy a firearm.

a reply to: neo96

As long as the company they are buying it from allows it of course, if not they can find dozens of other places that will be more than happy to sell it to them.

Do you want the government regulating what companies can and can't do? If so, that's extremely surprising coming from you.

I see what you did there.

agreed. Just as Dick's has a right not to sell it to them. Here in America we have freedom's like that.

What I want is for 'liberal's to stop telling 18,19,20 years what they can do.

Most 20 year olds are way too #ing stupid and irresponsible to own a gun. Why the hell would you want to fight for the right for basically just kids to buy assault weapons the public shouldn't have anyway?

It's not your 'right' to buy or own guns that's just twisting the meaning of the 2nd to suit your gun nut agenda.

It should be all our 'right' not be threatened and afraid of ordinary citizens running around with assault weapons. There is no reason for anyone other than military/law enforcement to own or so much as touch such a weapon. Think about how screwed up that makes the US look to the rest of the civilized world. Some of my friends from Europe are genuinely scared to come here because of this idiotic gun culture.

So some little jerk gets all bent out of shape because he can't buy a deadly weapon? Boo##hoo. I hope the judge throws this nonsense straight out.

a reply to: neo96

But you want Republicans to be able to tell people they can't have abortions? Crazy how that works isn't it?
