Why select that picture of random guy (her grandfather I believe) who didnt die?

Guns have constitutional protection. Ammunition does not. It's that simple
the subsequent Supreme Court case McDonald v. Chicago specifically addressed ammunition, “it logically follows that the right to keep and bear arms extends to the possession of handgun ammunition in the home; for if such possession could be banned (and not simply regulated), that would make it “impossible for citizens to use [their handguns] for the core lawful purpose of self-defense.”*

Well the NSSF is fighting in court over what you would call ammunition and they have broken it down to pieces. Shell casing lead bullet black powder and so on. So do you like their definition better than.

No, they didn't change the topic to free speech, as you don't have a right to free speech on a privately owned site.

How about you think about this:
If he's her Grandfather....then he's not some random guy is he?
He didn't die?.......her Grandfather didn't die?......what the hell does that have to do with anything?
Maybe they selected the picture because it showed her in a family situation?.....you know with her family, Grandfather included...because he's part of the family!...........you think that may be possible?

I'll ask you this too. Are you legally qualified to make that assertion? Because I'm not so sure that claim would hold up in court if anyone really wanted to find out.

And banning online munition sales impedes what right exactly?
Less in Shipping costs?
I have never bought ammo online but ammo is heavy and I paid nearly $100 to ship a computer. Even if you save a bit on the price I imagine the shipping would be insane...
In fact, I know nobody who purchases ammo online when there are perfectly good Gun Stores and Sporting Good Stores where you can purchase the same.
The problem is in us allowing them to push through new legislation in response to isolated incidents. This means at best we are allowing them to "wag the dog". And at worst, we're rewarding criminal behavior. New legislation requires balance and careful study, not snap judgments on "random" events.

Free speech is more than just a right granted by constitution, law, or statute.
It is an idea.
And whether or not we have a LEGAL right to free speech on a privately owned site, many of us believe that we have a HUMAN RIGHT to freedom of belief and expression, and as such we will continue to ADVOCATE for the right or privilege to SPEAK OUR MINDS, where we want, when we want, and how we want.

Maybe you ought to go back and respond to the other things I said before you accuse me of deflecting or avoiding any subjects or questions.
