PORTLAND, Ore. — An Oregon man filed suits Monday claiming Dick’s Sporting Goods and Walmart discriminated against the 20-year-old when they refused to sell him a rifle.

Dick’s and Walmart restricted gun sales to adults 21 and older in the wake of the Florida high school massacre. The 19-year-old accused in the school slaying bought the AR-15 used in the attack legally.

Oregon law allows residents to buy shotguns or rifles starting at age 18.

Watson is asking judges to force Dick’s and Walmart “to stop unlawfully discriminating against 18, 19, and 20 year-old customers at all Oregon locations.” Additionally, he is asking for unspecified punitive damages.

Looks like those fascist PA laws are coming back to haunt some people

Does Oregon law require businesses to sell guns.

Then no case.

Are there other places that will sell to the kid?

Then really no case.

I think this dinkus should have to pay their legal bills.

How about that?

So your argument relies on whether oregon has laws requiring businesses to sell guns?

Anyone know why a lawsuit first? Why not go to the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries first and make a complaint that Dicks and WalMart aren't following Oregon's PA laws?

 

[LordBrownTrout]

They will lose, too.

Probably not

Age discrimination. Yeah, defendant will lose that one.

[OKTexas]

it's not that complex.

The Christian bakers should be able to send away business and WAL MART should be able to send away business.

Why do so many of you want the government to rule EVERY SINGLE ASPECT OF your lives?

If you're going to have a law, it has to be applied equally.


.

I don't want the law. get the government out of private business.

I tend to agree, but at this point, it is what it is. They can't bust a baker and let sporting goods stores slide on discrimination.

How so??? If rental car businesses can legally refuse to rent to those under 25 why can't Dicks do the same?

Renting cars involves signing a contract. They way i understand it is, all but 2 states allow rental car companies to set their own standards.

What does 'signing a contract' have to do with it?

What does having a credit card have to do with it, try renting a car without one, most rental car companies won't even accept cash.


.

I'm really tired of the non sequitur questions in this thread.

that's the trumpscums' new way of derailing threads and trolling...... death by stupid questions.

Like "How many credit hours should it be for one to have the degree you claim you have"?

And still can't type Proper English? GFY #fakelawyershill.

Where does the Constitution mention race or color?

I just posted it, here it is again. It's federal anti-discrimation law.

Under federal anti-discrimination laws, businesses can refuse service to any person for any reason, unless the business is discriminating against a protected class. At the national level, protected classes include: Race or color.Mar 21, 2017

The Right to Refuse Service: Can a Business Refuse Service to Someone?

I asked you where it said that in the Constitution.
You said the Constitution would trump this state law, i am asking you how.

The U.S. Constitution has no written race or color in it. Technically according to the Constitution, a private business could refuse to serve someone of color or race, but under Federal laws of Protected classes that would be prohibited.

Federal law is the implementation of the Constitution.

To the laughie responder:

This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.

I don't give a rats ass what it says--every business in this country has a right to deny service to anyone they want too. If a pizza joint can deny service to gays, then Walmart & Dick's sporting goods can determine at what age they're going to sell guns.

It's Walmart & Dicks Sporting goods that has the business license and pay the liability insurance. They will decide what they feel is safe and secure and if they make a determination that they're not going to sell guns to anyone under 21 years old- then that is THEIR business and no one elses--and they have every legal right to make that decision.

Under federal anti-discrimination laws, businesses can refuse service to any person for any reason, unless the business is discriminating against a protected class. At the national level, protected classes include: Race or color.Mar 21, 2017

21 year olds can't legally purchase handguns in this country. Is that discrimination also?

Under federal law, the minimum age to buy a handgun from a licensed dealer is 21.

What are the legal ages for buying guns?

Dicks/ field and stream has always been FUD organization anyway. Those stores were always only good for golf clubs and baseball bats. Honestly, academy has had a better selection anyway. I say leave them alone and screw them.

there is a difference.... everyone at Dick's is treated the same. White people, people of color, gays, straights, women, men. all have the right to purchase what is sold. the store itself can sell what it wishes.

in the case of the bigoted white trash who don't want to serve gays, they aren't providing the same service to everyone.

they are just losers and should find a different job if they have a problem with us not being a Jim Crow society any longer. 1950 misses them.

PORTLAND, Ore. — An Oregon man filed suits Monday claiming Dick’s Sporting Goods and Walmart discriminated against the 20-year-old when they refused to sell him a rifle.

Dick’s and Walmart restricted gun sales to adults 21 and older in the wake of the Florida high school massacre. The 19-year-old accused in the school slaying bought the AR-15 used in the attack legally.

Oregon law allows residents to buy shotguns or rifles starting at age 18.

Watson is asking judges to force Dick’s and Walmart “to stop unlawfully discriminating against 18, 19, and 20 year-old customers at all Oregon locations.” Additionally, he is asking for unspecified punitive damages.

No, not everyone does it that way. The couple involved with Sweet Cakes went to the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries first. In fact, unlike what many claim...they never sued the bakery.
