Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire DO YOU SUPPORT THE GUN SALE POLICY CHANGES MADE BY DICK'S AND WALMART?...ABC POLL.

When I go to the range to target shoot I have to admit I am a bit uncomfortable with the prevalence of this type of weapons I am seeing the younger crowd is attracted to today.

To tell the truth I do support this. Personally do not care to see AR weapons in these stores. Then if I started my own gun smithing and or firearms sales operation I am not sure I would be offering to sell or service The AR type firearms to share my frank outlook. When I go to the range to target shoot I have to admit I am a bit uncomfortable with the prevalence of this type of weapons I am seeing the younger crowd is attracted to today.

I do not have to like it and do not have to support it. Same would be true for Dicks and Walmart the way I see this.

Not like this alone will change things much as others are liking this firearm platform and servicing them better than the box stores ever will. JMHO

What is it about this firearm that makes you uncomfortable? Detachable magazines are scary to you? The 'unbelievably powerful' 5.56 cartridge gives you the 'heebie jeebies'? Clearly you are just as confused as nearly every Leftist/Democrat/RINO in the country about the difference between a Tool Used For Evil and an Evil User of Tools. I happen to have civilian examples of both the current US military rifle and the former Soviet Union's military rifle. I think they are both ugly, but neither one of them has jumped into the car and gone off to shoot someone. Maybe mine are more bashful and well behaved than the ones you're uncomfortable with.

Certainly, I would agree with you about the younger crowd making me uncomfortable. But for me it's their 'detached' attitudes towards others and the 'unbelievable' power of Social Media that turns their brains to mush.

And, God Forbid one of them decides to pull a fire alarm and use a dump truck to run over hundreds of children. I guess you probably wouldn't work on dump trucks either if you were a mechanic?

I support a business selling what they want to who they want, within the law. The customer can go somewhere else.

Not to bust your chops, but I have to wonder what Great Grandpa thought of all the kids buying Winchester model 54s and 70s and milsurp Springfields after WWI.
The way I see it, this is a technology thing. The great wood and polished steel of those former "assault-style" weapons has given way to more durable synthetics and high-tech metal treatments. More advanced fabrication methods have yielded guns with less complex machining in materials that are easier to finish. and of course there have been advancements in doing what guns are meant to do - put lead on target.

The only real difference between the post-WWI advancements and today's advancements is that material and fabrication hadn't really changed. But firepower did. So, maybe this 1/2 change didn't alarm Great Grandpa as much.

My vote for mental health moved the pole 2%, if that tells you anything.

Carrying any goods, whether guns, sleeping bags clothing or golf clubs is a policy decision made by a Company's executives. They have this right and we have the right to shop where we want - it works both ways.

It's like asking for fish and being told you can have chicken or steak.

Walmart as of today is supposedly raising the age to buy any firearm and any ammo to 21.

It doesn't matter what they decide to sell or what they don't decide to sell. The point that seems to be missed is age discrimination for the legal purchase of legal firearms.


You'd think an attorney would be all over it. Why not put up a sigh that says:

"We don't sell guns to foster kids"

Or

"We don't sell guns to blacks"

Or

"We don't sell guns to ________"


That's where the bullschit is. I don't believe they have the right to do it.
