Add a question: Reason for purchase?
If they don’t answer “the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed” then you can nix the sale.
I wonder how much latitude an FFL holder has in denying a sale that would pass on the merits of passing a background check. One of my dealers once said, to the individual conducting the background check, that he never sold to anyone not born in the USA.
I was speaking specifically to the poster calling himself Captainpaintball about denying someone a gun purchase because their last name sounded like other terrorists.
How would you like it if a gun store denied you a purchase because of your name?
I wasn’t 100% serious about that, gundog, but asking reason for purchase is not an ideological question. But there are some pretty dumb people out there that might actually out themselves answering that question.
See post 30. There’re ways of figuring out this stuff.
“Had he ever been on drugs?”
Doesn’t matter. He’s a muzzie. As long as a single muzzie remains within our borders, this crap will go on.
I walked into an LGS years ago, and the counter girl was on the phone to the cops. A guy wearing a hat with a marijuana leaf on it had just left He’ was in there looking at guns, talking about shooting the police Chief in the neighboring town for taking away his weed. I went out and followed him and talked the cops onto his location.
It’s all good when we are talking about Islamonazis and there posts.
There is a second amendment issue here.
Do you want someone denying you a firearm purchase based on your social media posts?
What if you were a certain race, and the guy behind the counter hated that race and denied or delayed YOUR purchase?
Don’t you get it when you are put in there place?
What if you have some hobby or interest that someone does not like for some reason, and that person owns your local gun store?
I find it hard to believe that if that guy walked into a my gun store, I would not think something is wrong with him. I would go out of my way not to sell him a weapon.I’d take my time, help other customers... I would also look up his name on the internet during the sale. It takes no more than 2-3 minutes. If he starts getting impatient, squirrelly, rude...he can go f—k off. To tell you the truth, his family shouldn’t have been admitted into this country. And their incompetence and stupidity is grounds for deportation, or incarceration (or some sort of punishment)
“What if you were a certain race, and the guy behind the counter hated that race and denied or delayed YOUR purchase?”
I have been discriminated against for being white, more than once. But I’d rather that than have the government telling people whom they must and cannot sell to.
I have been been spit on and had weapons pulled on me for being white. Also, I do not want the fedgov deciding who should get guns.
It seemed like you were saying the guy behind the counter could delay the gun purchase by looking up someone’s info on a laptop.
“It seemed like you were saying the guy behind the counter could delay the gun purchase by looking up someone’s info on a laptop.”
If it’s his store, it should be his decision.
Not if he is sexist or racist or denying someone their 2nd Amendment rights on a false pretense.
How would you like being denied a gun purchase if you lived in a small town with one gun shop hours away from a big city and really needed a firearm for protection?
That argument is used by libs for virtually everything g they push. It does have merit but I am not a libertarian and do draw the line somewhere. If I had say,any caught and convicted terrorist should have the entire holdings of the entire immediate family confiscated and then deported,right now and permanently. Certain individuals do need profiling. Terrorists caught in the act should be shot in the street.two subjects 2A and terrorism.
“Not if he is sexist or racist”
So if someone has a different opinion on those matters, his private property is forfeit?
“or denying someone their 2nd Amendment rights on a false pretense.”
The Constitution enumerates our human right to keep and bear arms, but it does not empower us to force anyone to supply us with arms.
“How would you like being denied a gun purchase if you lived in a small town with one gun shop hours away from a big city and really needed a firearm for protection?”
Why does the shop owner care how I like it? Since when does poor planning on my part constitute an obligation to sell me a gun on his part? That gun is his own private property.
His shop, his property, his decision to make. To the extent that our laws interfere with that, our laws are horsey poopy.
Those who are so severely afflicted with leftardation that they think “sexism” and “racism” are excuses for deprivation of human rights should never be in any position of authority.
I agree with your points, however; a business owner denying someone service for arbitrary reasons opens oneself to lawsuits.
Surely you can imagine the crapstorm if a protected minority was denied a firearm sale, found out it was because of their status, and got libtard ACLU lawyers involved.
How would racial profiling have stopped the attack? The murderer is white.
I think ideological profiling is what you mean.
“a business owner denying someone service for arbitrary reasons opens oneself to lawsuits.”
Lex mala, lex nulla.
“Surely you can imagine the crapstorm if a protected minority was denied a firearm sale, found out it was because of their status, and got libtard ACLU lawyers involved.”
The continued existence of the ACLU is a great disgrace to every American.
It may not be technically racial profiling to take one’s muslim name into account; but you do get the idea.
Personally,, I think the FBI knew about the shooter from his tweets and let him go ahead anyway, so they had another platform to push for gun control
Bank on it! If he was anti Biden and said so ... they’d jump on him so fast it would make your head spin!
No one will ever change my mind about that
