OT Walmart and Dick's raise age for buying guns to 21 yrs.

Also Trump wants to take away guns from the mentally ill.

That will be interesting see how they do that.
 
A grave miscalculation on their part.

Few if any 18-20 year olds buy guns from their stores, but now they have insulted their entire crop of gun-buying customers.

No gain, much financial pain.

That Cruz loser bought one of his guns from Dick's.
 
This is the slippery slope you've stepped out on by banning cippy.

I'm sure he's learned where the line in the sand is now.

I remember getting a time-out by some mod when I migrated to this board long ago.

Everybody deserves a second chance. :cheers:

I'm going to the beach for a few days. When I get back I will discuss it with staff.
 
Speaking of redditt I forgot to "thank" you for sending me those links to the game.

Had to shut down my pc then sweep it to remove all the pop-ups that attacked it.

Heard we won.

You should always use a pop up blocker.

They probably won't (can't?), but I'd love to see how this affects their business. IIRC, you have to show ID when you buy a weapon, so they know the age of every person in the last (however many they've had a computer and database) years that's bought a weapon.

I want to see that number. I want to see how much they stand to lose (or not). I want to see empirical evidence on the difference it makes, and they (unlike all these hypotheticals going around) can provide it. Have they been averaging 5,000 18-20.9999 year-olds per year buying weapons? A Million? 3? Do more buy from Dick's than from Wal-Mart? I know our military exchange (basically, a Target) sells weapons. They should have data, though probably skewed by selling predominantly to members who are trained in weapons and are disproportionately 17-21 (compared to the rest of society). How does it compare against the WalMart baseline?

More facts, less conjecture and emotion. Then start making decisions/laws.

A 19 year old like the shooter in Florida wouldn't be able to just walk into one of those stores and buy something..... but it's all pretty moot unless it's all gun stores. He would just somewhere else.
