Walmart To Raise Age Requirement To Purchase Firearms, Ammunition

[Missouri_Mike]

I think you've been lied to by the Huffpost. Why would Walmart ever do that? They are in rural areas and probably not going to take legal gun ownership age on their own. That's not their job. I think this is bullshit since all your links go back to a hufpo article and nothing to Walmart.

Are you really that dumb? Did you click on Walmart's statement link in the OP? Here, try The New York Times.

Walmart and Dick’s Raise Minimum Age for Gun Buyers to 21

Well there's a lawsuit waiting to happen. Since when do companies set legal age limits? Are you seriously thinking all these nasty corporations you hate are suddenly ok with setting national law? How the fuck does that work? Can gas companies not sell fuel to 16 year olds cars because they may have a wreck?

Any time you the person who hates corporations such as Walmart are cheering when they are setting national policy and law seems concerning to me.

Companies can set any age limit they want. I do not know if they still require it but when I was a manager for WalMart you had to be 18 to buy spray paint.

Because that was the law.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

It's a knee-jerk reaction, but it likely won't effect their bottom line much, or solve the problem.

You are correct, it will not affect either.

Lol the cons Wil boycott wal-mart their only hanging out place haha

If it was the position of the majority, Lemming, they would have already been doing it years

Not necessarily true. And yes, it is the position of the majority. If you want to see a bunch of crybabies trying to use the law to crush dissent, then go look up your GOP heroes in the south , illegally threatening companies.

Duh, it's called capitalism. You've surely heard the religious reasons for not baking cakes for homos. Well...

So you're all for capitalism now. But not really. You're for corporatism when the shoe fits.

I've always been for capitalism - with healthy doses of socialism and regulations mixed in. I'm only against unfettered capitalism.

I hope I'm not taking the wrong side here......but I personally think raising the age to buy a weapon might be a good idea.
18 year olds (in my opinion) aren't quite mature enough to be buying guns. UNLESS...they are in active military service.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

You are correct, it will not affect either.

Of course, you could not possibly know the truth of that. It might very well be that a teenager who cant immediately buy a gun at the Wal-Mart 3 miles away doesn't buy a gun at all, or cools off before he does.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

However, if the age is raised to 21, the gun grabbers MUST be prepared to loosen some other part of their demands.

Why? And none of that is gun grabbing.

 

[pismoe]

That is their prerogative and I respect their decision. Dick's branded stores haven't sold the AR style rifle since 2012, the change in age for sales aside, this move only applies only to their Field and Stream branded stores. But good on them. Though I believe the decision is as much a publicity play as anything else.

That being said... and I posted this in another thread in reference to this topic...



Fucking pussies. Sell them all or sell none at all.

This is like a store saying they will no longer sell cigarettes, but they'll continue selling loose tobacco and Zig Zags...

------------------------------------ 'dick' had the policy and then rescinded the policy and have now restarted the policy HJMick . --- Dick's banned assault rifles after the Newtown school shooting — and later reversed the decision --- not that i care one way or the other HJMick .

Well, what do you know, you are right. I thought it was some dumb WalMart policy. Thanks for the info.

ie....stop going after semi-automatic weapons or hi capacity magazines.

We can't have a one way situation where gun rights are only ERODED and never enhanced.

Hey, dumbass, raising the age to 21 is not a bargaining chip. Even Trump is talking about much more than that. However, it may just be like Lucy and the football with Trump.

People are either adults or they are not. Having multiple ages where people are allowed to do adult things it stupid. If people want it to be 21 then move everything to 21, voting, signing contracts, buying guns, military service. If not, put it all at 18.

I wonder if the NRA can get the Ak Senate to follow the example of the Ga Senate and punish WalMart for making a business decision they do not agree with.

unlikely, since arkansas is a wholly owned walmart subsidiary

You are right, anything is possible but I am not a big fan of making laws based off of "could happens".

How can someone at 18 not be trusted with purchasing a firearm because they are too young and stupid still be trusted to join the military?

Who thought Georgia would turn on the largest private employer in their state? The NRA holds amazing power over the statist.

Fine, visit the Parkland cemetery, then.

No problem. Just kinda thinking corporations shouldn't be creating law based on the latest left wing melt down on facebook.

 

[WinterBorn]

Great, that leaves 20 year olds living alone unable to protect themselves. Good job libtards.

Only if the only places that sells guns are Walmart & Dicks.

Easy to say....if your agenda is anti 2nd
