Yes, they can. I’m fully supportive of raising the firearms purchase age. People are not allowed to buy alcohol and cigarettes until they’re 21. Young people are not ready to handle certain things.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I agree completely with upping the age, and also agree that one should be 21 to VOTE and go in the Military!

Ummm — no; no it isn’t “just like refusing to bake a cake for a gay wedding.”
There is a very clearly enumerated Constitutional Right in this case

*Cough* Amendment 13.

There needs to be a lot more talk on knives and how many people are killed with knives.

Everyone should write to Wallyworld and complain on how many knife deaths there are. and how many people are killed drunk driving . Then threaten to sue wallyworld cause they sell knives and booze.

We shall see...I hope you are right. It’s getting more stupid than usual out there. I’ve already been in the face of several otherwise “conservative” neighbors who are ready to just roll over on their 2A rights being infringed because they are freakin’ clueless.

It is their store, they can do what they want. If they decide not to sell weapons to anyone, just stop all together, they can. It is their stores.

That doesn't fly at all in a country that compels businesses to serve those they do not wish to under public accommodation laws that the courts say is constitutional.

If the law says something is legal for everyone 18+, how can Walmart anymore deny a sale to someone 18, 19 or 20 than they could deny people over 50 for being "too old"?

I suppose it is. And someone with standing, ie, a legitimate grievance, has to be injured somehow. That’s how a lot of law gets enacted, I imagine.

Baby boomers are largely to blame for today’s issues, specifically the Christian ones.

It’s not the age that’s the problem, it’s the complete takeover by the left of every institution which my parents and folks like them allowed.

Trump was gracious to Feinstein on the bumpstock and with a pen and a phone he will make me a criminal.

Obamas ATF approved the bumpstock, because you will have to rewrite 100 years of law to make it stick in the courts.

More business to the regular hunting and fishing stores. If the don’t want or need the business, it’s up to them. I would not buy from them or Dicks.
