If they lower the voting age to 16 then you can own a gun at 16.

Correct. Why wouldn't a bunch of newly franchised 16 year olds vote themselves a lower drinking age, driving age, gun ownership age...
P'lousy isn't thinking it through. Leftists never do.

Not good enough:
I’ve proffered that if a 16 y/o is old enough to vote, they’re old enough to be put in harm’s way on the battlefield.

These dycks in the news again.
All I want to read about anti 2nd retailers is the report the last store was shuttered.

Dick's is in the process of getting out of the firearms selling business entirely.
I'll never darken their doorstep again.

The human brain is not fully developed until age 25. That is a good voting age.

As ardent a supporter of the 2nd Amendment as am I, what business is it of the courts what a company sets as its sales policies? Think wedding cakes. If Dick’s wants to commit corporate suicide by taking firearms out of Sporting, let them. The Free Market will solve any such issues. Dick’s will never see a penny of my hard-earned money.
And if they want to settle a case, that is their right. We don’t know the terms but we do know from history that companies weigh the cost of litigation against the proposed settlement. No conclusions can be drawn from this.
Speaking of which, the Stormy Daniels / Creepy Porn Lawyer settlement by DJT is a good example of a relatively paltry sum to make an annoyance go away. What was it, 115k or so? Chump change. How fast can a lawyer rack up a fee like that /rhetorical. Didn’t SeeBS pay 5M for their hush money? That’s the range of payoff where you know there’s there there.
And Shakespeare was right (NOT a call to action, just an observation).

Today’s (Friday?*) walk out protest is started by a 16 year old in Sweden.
She says to Parliament, “I want you to panic. I want you to feel the fear I feel every day!”
Such irrational, illogical thought should eliminate them from casting something as powerful as a ballot.
Do you think illegal immigrants wouldn’t vote themselves largess (property) a la South Africa? They are conditioned to believe that white Europeans have stolen their ‘cheese’!

Lawyers for both Watson and Dicks declined to comment, saying the settlement details are confidential. If Dicks would have won the case it would have been headline news. They lost.

When illegals are given the right to vote, every self identifying 16 illegal should be given a gun at the border along with all his other government perks.

Drop out of school and be cannon fodder. I was in the 82d Abn Div Infantry and left high school at the ripe age of 17. I support putting HS dropouts of both sexes into Corps of Engineers work brigades or similar work, but not the Peace Corps.

Its not the courts business in many cases, like what hours to keep or what merchandise to carry. For better or worse, there are discrimination laws and a retailer cant choose who to sell to based on an age threshold that contradicts the law. When someone does that it becomes the courts business.

Good Point. Last time I stepped foot inside Dick's I bought a Mossberg Model 80 they had on sale for $199, minutes before they ran out of stock. This was before they made this dumbass marketing blunder capitulating to the gun grabbers. Now, I refuse to patronize them. Let the market decide their fate.
