My sig other and I were in Cabelas Kansas City yesterday and were amazed at the activity at the gun cases. We spoke to one of the sales associates and asked him why people were buying guns.. He said many many first time gun purchasers... Even senior citizens...
People are scared.....
“A man who apparently doesnt understand the constitution....”
How so?
How so? You have a right to free speech. That doesn't require a publisher to print your book. Your 2nd ammendment right does not require anyone to sell you a gun.
Love it.
It “may” violate 2nd amendment rights. There are many methods of discrimination which are acceptable against
selling a person a firearm, mental capacity, felony record,intent to commit felony,
and so on.
The question is does a political belief warrant discrimination against a citizens exercise of 2nd amendment rights? I do not believe there is case law on that point.Remember that if a firearms dealer happens to be a leftist, under this logic he can refuse to sell to a copnservative and so on.
Clearly race cannot be used as an excuse not to sell a firearm to a person, that would be a violation of a citizens 2nd amendment rights in todays America.
It is my considered opinion that this could easily become a controverted issue under the 2nd amendment.
BTW, I approve of this dealer refusing to sell arms to people who supported Obama. I would love to see MacDonalds refuse to serve them too.
Nice of you to out yourself like that. I'll take your word for your gender, but your lack of Constitutional understand is as plain as day.
No worries. It's never too late to start paying attention in school, since school house Life is always in session!
And, lucky for you, you've come to the right place. Here you'll find plenty of help making up for and finally learning what the government/unionized school system robbed you of giving you indoctrination instead instead of a practical education.
He understands the Constitution. Everyone has the right to own firearms AND he has the right to refuse to sell to anyone from his private business. They can find their firearms elsewhere.
Sounds like he understands the constitution just fine. Where in the constitution does it say that HE has to sell guns to irresponsible idiots?
And dealers have a responsibility, if the person in front of them is clearly mentally ill, openly suicidal, or a lunatic, they shouldnt sell to them.
Obama voters seriously fit in this category.
Bump
“Why would anyone who sets up a business purposely discourage 50% of the potential customer base”
Yeah,, half the people strolling through gun stores are Obama voters. Thats like saying a gay sex art exhibit is driving away 50% of it’s customer base by saying no republican voters.
This is about incompetency. Remember all of the whining we heard about why somebody sold Loughner and the jackass in Colorado a gun? This guy is only trying to keep guns out of the hands of certifiable braindead, irresponsible and incompetent morons. Remember, the felon vote broke for Obama big time.
No, that would be a violation of anti-discrimination laws, which deal with public facilities being denied on the basis of specific status, race, religion, ethnicity, etc.. I don't believe political affiliation is considered as such. If a newpaper decides not to sell advertizements to the Klan that doesn't violate the KKK's free speech. Ihe 1st amendment does not require anyone to help you excercise your right to free speech. The 2nd Ammendment limits the government from infinging peoples rights, it doesn't require private citizens to sell you a gun.
To be fair, Romney has signed into law more gun bans than Obama ever has.
I suspect skin color will be a good enough indicator for him.
Excellent....
Back at cha, libs....
p. sure that's the subtext of the sign.
