Dick's Sporting Goods loses firearms businesses after gun control push

Lol, hand guns? I wonder why politicians don't openly support removing hand guns?

 

You think bans work. That's not logical.

 

But, I don't wish to change it. Just pointing out that it was built to be changeable.

 

Never mind the fact the use of 5.56x45 in firearm homicide is exceedingly rare in and of itself.

But hey a - a Mini-30 is OK. Right?

The state cannot force anyone to undergo any sort of education or training before they may exercise any right without violating the Constitution.

 

Whereas the NRA is for those obsessed with dick substitutes.

 

They have suggestions, just not those embraced by the ones who's only solution is gun bans, and so they are ignored.

 

Well, you contradict yourself in the very next sentence.

The .223 can do more damage than a 9mm, well, that's just brilliant. A center fire rifle cartridge vs a pistol cartridge, well of course it's more powerful. The 5.56mm was not developed for it's killing power, it was found tactically better to wound the enemy, not outright kill them. Reading through your posts it appears you want to ban teenagers from using anything more powerful than a pea shooter without training. How much training do you think they should get?

This statement is wrong.

I'm not sure if English is your first language or if this post was written while you were at the bar...but I'll try and piece this together.

Are you asking me if PTSD is effecting veterans? Of course. It effects millions of veterans, non veterans, everywhere. It will never go away. It's always been around, the name has just changed over the course of centuries.

 

Actually it has been drifting slightly Southward lately.

 

Actually in Oregon where Dick's and Walmart are being sued-

659A.403 Discrimination in place of public accommodation prohibited. (1) Except as provided in subsection (2) of this section, all persons within the jurisdiction of this state are entitled to the full and equal accommodations, advantages, facilities and privileges of any place of public accommodation, without any distinction, discrimination or restriction on account of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, marital status or age if the individual is of age, as described in this section, or older.

 

Well, the NRA has always been an overly cautious moderate organization - and Lapierre was a Democrat.

 

Actually, no it isn't, the current interpretation is.

 

And yet they have. I know, it's a crazy world.

 

And here you had an opportunity to give one and didn't. Go ahead, one will do.

 

Ohhh, so close. If only you went back one more sentence you could have figured it out. I'll help you. Vets have the most experience with the damage firearms can cause and have to live with the effects. The help they are getting is.......lacking, at best and yet 2nd amendment defenders will always say it's not the tool it's the carpenter. So now you have the choice of guns or health care. This is the problem in America. Other countries have vets with PTSD and they also have problems dealing with it but they don't have the gun violence that we have.
Doesn't seem like a hard choice.

 

Gun bans only make guns more attractive to criminals. Surely you know that by now.

“The ban on handguns after the Dunblane
massacre has failed to halt either the
rise in armed crime or to undermine the
British appetite for shooting sports. To
the dismay of campaigners, who hoped the
tragedy would instill a lasting sense of
public revulsion over firearms, guns are
again fashionable in Britain.” Ian Burrell,
Home Affairs Correspondent, “
THE INDEPENDENT, After five years, Dunblane remembers,” “Tragedy has
done little to quash appetite for gunplay,” By Ian Burrell, Home Affairs Correspondent, 3/13/2001.

 

The "current interpretation" is the correct one.

 

I quit shopping at Dick's Sporting Goods after their anti-2nd Amendment stand. They have a right to go against Freedom loving Americans, and we have a right to quit shopping there.

 

The belief that an interpretation is 'correct" or not is irrelevant -- it's there, and you don't get to ignore it.

 

Ok, I'm just pointing out that most often those that want to change it never propose the amendment process.

 

No they haven't. They just produce a dangerous black market.

The current firearms black market is proof.

 

Actually I believe federal laws are what permit the seller to decide how to proceed with the transaction.

 

They’re up over a buck and a quarter on the day so far as I type this. They closed up before the weekend.

Were you just talking about the last 2 weeks? I’m talking about since last February, when this story came out. They’ve been slow and steadily rising since then.

 

Well you clearly haven't been in combat. We also have the most experience on what the damage is done to our enemies

 

What ban ever worked?
