“A man who apparently doesn’t understand the constitution....”

Excuse my ignorance, but where in the constitution does it say that a private business MUST sell to everyone? Don’t restaurants frequently have a sign that says “We Reserve the Right to Refuse Service”?

I understand the laws against discrimination based on race, religion, etc., but NOT selling to those who have already demonstrated diminished mental capacity seems like a great way to avoid potential lawsuits as well.

He has no obligation under the constitution to sell his guns to anyone he doesn’t want to.

It would be interesting to see you flesh out your argument a little, Snark.

Now if this is not the pot calling the kettle black!

Geez! You either worded your thoughts horribly or you need a major dose of remedial education on the subject.

A person has the right to keep and bear arms. The business owner has no obligation to facilitate the right.

Reminds me of the cheesesteak guy in Philly who made everyone order in English.

HUH???
Nothing in my copy of the Constitution requires a store owner to sell anything. Business decisions are made hourly as to running a business.

But then with all the new interpretations, maybe I missed something. After all my copy is at least a year or so old.

It is you, Snark, who does not understand the constitution and the law. Freedom of association means that a business should be able to transact with who they want to transact. Legislatively, political affiliation is NOT a protected class for purposes of discrimination. Now if he said no homos or blacks then that would be different under the law.

“A man who apparently doesn't understand the constitution....”

Snark, If you are implying by this statement that the store owner doesn't understand the constitution, are you referring to the 1st amendment? If so, I would suggest that you are the one who doesn't understand the constitution. It is more likely that when the libs get themselves all wound up about this, they will be screaming for the “government” to do something. That reaction will be advocating for the violation of the first amendment against the store owner.

If I have incorrectly interpreted your statement please clarify. The first amendment is very misunderstood by many people.

Regards,
Mrsloungitude

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.

It's a throw-away line, but it makes a powerful point. BTW, it usually turns out that mass shootings are done by liberals who chose to misuse firearms. Congresswoman Gabby-WhatsHerName being the most recent victim.

“WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE SERVICE TO obama VOTERS!”

I remember similar signs in stores from my youth.
