Rifles should not be sold at Walmart

According to hysterical libs.

 

I don't agree. To me, your argument is the same as if I complained they sell rap music with "dirty words." I can complain to the manager and send a complaint to their corporate headquarters, but they're pretty much gonna keep selling that stuff as long as they're making make a profit or decide, for whatever reason, to stop selling an item.

Perhaps if you complain enough they'll change their minds.

 

So grenades are out of the question? Did you know from walmart, you can buy the materials needed for a rather explosive bomb? You can also find more of these under most kitchen sinks.

 

Patted down/security screening? You've obviously never been inside a gun store.

So basically, you think people like yourself, based on your revelations about yourself, shouldn't be allowed to own rifles or shotguns?

Rifles are not sold in Wal-Mart like spray paint (which, btw is restricted sales to over 18 ). When you buy a gun at Wal-Mart (I haven't personally, but I've seen the pickup), you do everything like at any other gun store--you fill out the 4473, then get a NICS or state background check, then pay for the gun. Then, at Wal-Mart, one of the assistant managers escorts you to your car with the gun. (I've seen that part).

Also, I don't know where you live, but everywhere I've lived (Florida, Alabama and Georgia), rifles or shotguns have been commonplace items. I don't know many people who don't own some type of firearm.

That said, I still haven't heard you mention a rational reason why Wal-Mart shouldn't be selling rifles and shotguns.

 

Of course rifles help some people live better. Outdoor recreation is part of living better for some, and for many of those, hunting and target shooting is a fun outdoor recreation. Also, buying a gun at Wal-mart saves money.

Doubtful--they were phasing out the gun business in the early 2010s--had gotten down to about 1/3 of their stores selling guns. They realized that they were losing money by not selling guns, so they have slowly been increasing that up to about 1/2 of their stores (and with more stores total).

 

I've given rational reasons, and I'm sure as hell have been in a gun store. Stop making talking points to make your post look more credible.

 

I can confirm this. They only escorted me to the door, after I paid for my beer, though.

 

Please tell me the name of the gun store that pats people down and has security screening. I've been in numerous gun stores in three states, and have never heard of that kind of crap. I'd never buy from such a store.

No, your reasoning is that only the elite should have guns. That is not rational, that's fascist.

 

I suggested pat downs, and security screenings for the fact no gun store TAKES such stringent security measures. You have to do such entering the courthouse where I live, you might as well have to do the same damn thing going about purchasing a deadly weapon you could use to shoot up a courthouse. I see no issue pricing a low cost rifle at $3000, in fact the gun manufacturers who are in the business of producing this bullsh*t wouldn't have a problem with it, more profit for them. You wouldn't mind shredding $10,000 for a AR-14, plus all the background checks and paperwork, plus being required to complete a written statement why you are inquiring on purchasing a firearm. After the shoot-up in Orlando, I think these measures I'm proposing aren't out of the question at all.

 

Why should gun stores do that kind of thing? Is there a big problem with gun stores being robbed by guns? Are gun store owners often threatened? The reason courthouses have such security is that judges/prosecutors/defense attorneys are threatened on a fairly regular basis.


Rising prices doesn't mean rising profits. Of course they are out of the question.

Again, your only response is that only rich people should own guns. Why? Are rich people incapable of crime? Should rich people have more rights? Are rich people living in high crime neighborhoods where they need more guns?

 

General comment so no need for anyone to get their panties in a wad as I am not singling anyone in particular out.

Damn, don't you love "liberals" who are in actuality fascists? Or were "liberals" always fascists and the truth is finally coming to light?

 

It is interesting how fast liberals go into fascist authoritarian mode.

 

I thought for sure they were selling handguns in Alaska. They were in a glass case and everything.

 

But let me guess - you think that attempts to make abortion more difficult to access should be struck down? Isn't it hypocritical to say that you want guns to be less accessible to law-abiding citizens, but oppose any attempts to make abortion less accessible?

 

We're to you get that idea from? You just waltz in, pick the gun you want, go through a background, and depending on if its a long gun or you have a CCW in my state, you walk out of that store with a brand new gun. Seriously you really need to go to a gun store yourself.

 

fired by an angry guy whose never fired a shot before, and has no idea what he's doing beyond what he's seen in the movies? Fifty feet and out I'd feel safer as the target than as an innocent bystander.

 

Not since 1993. I have seen their pellet pistols in glass cases.

 

That's the spotting disk.
The scoring disk is placed around the edge of the target to denote the value of the hit - X = lower left, 10=bottom center, etc.
This is for NRA highpoower, anyway.

 

I called the whaaambulance for you.

 

Obama say's it's all a lie.

When righties talk about liberals being fascists.....
Definition of a fascist: extreme right-wing, authoritarian, or intolerant views or practice.

Wealthy individuals, unless they are part of the mafia, are better off, and less likely to commit crimes. Note all of the shootings have been by average, middle class simpletons, either hellbent on committing a hate crime, or radicalized online. Maybe there are some things that are meant only for elitists, and for good reason. Rifles, yachts, and Rolex watches.

Want to own a rifle? Become a elitist yourself. $3000 to start, after all the rebates, incentives, or stripped down features in the world.

Please don't litter threads with pathetic responses. #GetALIfe

 

So that whole constitution thing don't mean a thing to you? LOL

 

Why? Why are only elitists worthy of being armed? Please show evidence that rich people are less likely to commit crimes. That said, buying your argument (for the sake of argument), shouldn't poor people be getting a subsidy on guns--they are more likely to encounter other dangerous poor people.

That said, I don't think I've ever personally spent more than $300 for a gun, but that's not inflation adjusted dollars. I bought one for less than $100 (probably costs $200 now). I still don't see the logic behind making guns prohibitively expensive, except for making them hard to get for no practical reason. I guess you don't think you should be allowed to own a gun.

 

I was referring to the military, in particular the Marine Corps that uses the 500 yard or 500 meter KD range.
These are the three types of targets used on the KD range , A, B and D. -> http://s220.photobucket.com/user/dwl018/media/Targettypes_zpsfe0b5882.jpg.html

You would have to post a link or picture of the type of target you are referring to, I'm pretty sure different types of targets are used for competitive shooting.

 

Likely so.
Just sharing my experience with target indicators.
