its a business...businesses have the right to serve/sell by their rules

drinking age is 21..yet you see many drink establishments that say you must be 25+

just as a business can say "shirts and shoes required" , or "please no firearms", or "closed on sunday"

See my post above......... I think they probably will, it makes no difference in their bottom line. Retailers like Dick's and Walmart do not sell a lot of these firearms. It will be easier to not carry them than to deal with the problems.

That will hardly put a dent in firearm outlets.

I don't it is "fear"

IMO, it is a downright HATE of guns and want ALL guns banned.
IMO, It is the last straw. The NRA, has owned congress, way too long. It is a hate of killings of innocents with assault weapons. Aren't you sick and tired of this? The constitution covers freedom for all of us; not just a precious few who want to support gun manufacturers. Why should the NRA run our country?

I have not been a supporter of Trump. However, standing up to the NRA, has given me hope, for our country. This is a huge turning point. Congress needs to quit bowing to the NRA, and stand up for the people America.

Businesses do this sort of thing all the time.

It’s legal to get a driver’s license as a teen but many car rental places won’t rent you a car until you are 25.
Many hotels have similar age restrictions.

Lots of other examples already in place.

Which shooter was in the NRA? Precious few? There are more guns than people. That doesn't sound like a few.

Lets play the do you know game...


Do you know that "assault weapons" (we'll include all long guns, this way it includes the AR/shotgun/all semi auto rifles) kill about 400 people a year, while the pistol, kills the rest...yes, that right upwards of 10k are killed by pistols and you want to ban the AR?

The Soros groups are putting pressure on many companies . This has been going on for years. We know the Communists would love to disarm the American people.

Yes it is, but not all schools. My understanding is that the school with the teacher who fired the gun in the classroom DOES NOT. Also, this guy has a substantial background of events that if handled correctly would have prevented this incident.
