As everyone knows Dick’s Sporting Goods stopped selling AR’s and to anyone under 21.

Well just last week at the Walmart in WV, I saw a sign proclaiming you had to be 21 to buy a long gun.

It said beginning 03/18/2018, but I just now saw it.

Is that corporate or just local?

Walmart is not our friend when it comes to guns. IMO, they only sell them because they make money doing so, and are for tighter regulations.

They supported stopping selling semi-automatics way before Dicks. Here are a couple links..........

Sorry about the last link not working...

Says pretty much what the policy does, THEY WILL GO BEYOND FEDERAL LAW ON GUN RESTRICTIONS.
nUFF SAID FOR ME.

A 20 dollar cheaper gun won't get me to ever step foot in their hole.

That's what they are doing with their gun and ammo policy

im surprised more kids don't just make beer.

who was the genius that decided a store clerk was the one should be responsible to keep your kids from drinking ethanol?

is there any evidence that gun control laws have saved any lives?

whats next? mom and dad decide the convenience store clerks job is to also make sure their kids don't try nicotine?

What statement & why?
They are preventing purchases from those who are legal to make a purchase because of their age.
If they did that to alcohol there would be an uproar numerous law suits would happen and would make it to the scotus.

A county near me is considering raising the age of tobacco purchase to age 21. Nary a peep from so called liberty minded folks in that county. I used to wave at folks when I drove through that county, but no more. I cannot abide a bunch of nannies. Where are the men in this county? Disgraceful.

Have you been drinking???!!! They already do have the laws for alcohol !!!! When does the law suit start? Is it coming up before SCOTUS ????

People constantly say "young people make stupid decisions " thus the 21 age limit.

While it is true that 18-21 year olds make stupid decisions, it is an unfortunate fact that that age group does most of the fighting and the dying when our nation goes to war. It is fine to keep kids on Mama's tit until they are 21, or 26 for health insurance but when the butcher bill comes due in the nation's next fight I hope to God it is those girly men who didn't stand up for the rights and the privileges of 18-20 year olds now who do the dying.

That's my point just like alcohol sale laws they have laws for gun and ammo purchases but Wal-Mart says that's not good enough and will not sell to long guns and ammo to anyone under 21 even though the law says you can legally buy at 18. Dicks and Wal-Mart are both being sued for age discrimination.


www.google.com/amp/s/www.washingtonpost....discrimination/

I gave a scenario: What would happen if Wal-Mart raised their minimum age to purchase alcohol? There would be an uproar numerous suits would be filed and probably get to the scotus.

We have laws in regards to drinking but that are laws. Wal-mart only has policy’s not to sell guns or ammunition to people under 21.

Heck I know a fella in SE Nebraska that had to close his gun shop because a Fed. sting operation sent a guy in with a FAKE ID to buy a box of.22 shells! Owner lost his FFL license over it, closed his store and sold it.
Numerous folks have lost their jobs over selling tobacco to sting operations with a fake ID. Ridiculous.

Look at the way some of todays millennials conduct themselves.
Their parents failed them...... now it's up to law enforcement, store clerks and the general public to try to deal with them in some acceptable manner.

I think the only gun in my name is my daughter's 22 cricket. If some one 18 wanted a gun why not have some one buy it for them just like a present? The thing that bothers me with Wal-Mart isn't that they want sell to someone 18, if someone 18 can't get a parent to buy the gun they don't need it. My problem is that they can put a hold on the back ground check if they think something is suspicious about the sell, so if they see that joe has bought 3 gun this week and thinks that's odd they put a hold on his back ground check. Or if they think he lied on the paper work they hold him. Now in some cases this may be a good thing but I am not sure I trust Wal-Mart to know who needs a gun and who don't

Buying a gift is legal but getting someone to buy you a gun and calling it a gift is a straw purchase and not legal.

I don't think Walmart is the one putting the hold on. The guy at Walmart has no idea what or how many you have bought that is why they call it in.
I saw this with my own eyes. A Walmart closed in a town and they clearance their guns. Me and 3 other guys bought all they had. But one guy was smart enough to bring his wife, son, and daughter. The first 3 I bought were approved on the spot . The last three were put on hold. One was approved before I got home . The other 2 took a couple of days.

Oh yes got 3 bolt savages with scopes for 89 bucks each. Plus got 3 ruger 17 cal for 69 bucks each.

Numerous folks have lost their jobs over selling tobacco to sting operations with a fake ID. Ridiculous.



You sure that was the reason . Only have to be 18 in Neb. Must have used a high schooler to run the sting and not sure but think the FEDS aren't allowed to use minors !!!!

Simple answer . The messed up world we live in. When all these laws were made kids had some respect. The parents where not to busy or afraid to discipline them. With all this" oh you hurt my feelings" crap todays world is in a spin. Is 21 to old for the age requirement. ??? Maybe not for some. But most of todays youth have been cauddled by mommy and daddy that they have no idea what reality is. Heck my generation at 21 most people were married and raising families. Kids now days are having babies and letting granny and grandpa raise them while they continue running and ripping.......

You know the bible verse Jesus wept........

There are 9 states where you can be a police officer prior to age 21. Special exceptions for those folks, I'm sure.

I liked when they would ask if the .22 shells are for a rifle or handgun... They wouldnt sell you .22 shells if you said handgun and were under 21.

Stupid.

Walmart doesn't think we should have semi-automatics when the law says we can.

Walmart doesn't think someone under 21 should buy a gun when the law says he can.

Some people think we shouldn't have semi-autos. They say they don't need one so we shouldn't either.

some people think we shouldn't even have guns. They say they don't need one, so we shouldn't either.

Some people think we don't need to trap, because they don't.

I'd tell ya where i think those people and Walmart can go but this is a child friendly place. smile

I don't think Walmart is the one putting the hold on. The guy at Walmart has no idea what or how many you have bought that is why they call it in.
I saw this with my own eyes. A Walmart closed in a town and they clearance their guns. Me and 3 other guys bought all they had. But one guy was smart enough to bring his wife, son, and daughter. The first 3 I bought were approved on the spot . The last three were put on hold. One was approved before I got home . The other 2 took a couple of days.

Oh yes got 3 bolt savages with scopes for 89 bucks each. Plus got 3 ruger 17 cal for 69 bucks each.
walmart can put a hold on if they feel the need to, thats the problem I have with it all.

I was 20 when walmart changed their policy on ammo sales and had been in the Army for 2 years already, I shoot skeet every week and used to buy my 12 gauge shells there because it was the best price near the base. Then one day I went up to the counter and they asked for my ID and said you can’t buy these here, I found it quite ridiculous that the week before I was at the range with a SAW and 240 but I couldn’t buy shotgun shells. I know a lot of others on here were over seas before they could drink a beer and to me that’s just not right. If you’re old enough for your country to send you to die thousands of miles away from home you’re old enough to buy a 1911 or a case of beer. Rant over


I agree.

Knee jerk reaction to all the other crap going on. Fist off no one under 21 can buy handgun ammo. Im going to guess that .22 cal is probably one of the biggest sellers and my kid cant go buy a box. Then they went to NO ammo under 21.Its a pain to have to buy my boys shotgun shells every time they need some. The best thing is to cut Walmart out. Yes they are cheaper on some things but your money goes further if you buy from local mom and pop stores . You can cound on both hands the number of times I go to Walmart in a year and thats just for something I need "right now" and its convenient to go there.

They probably sell more guns than anyone else and they are anti gun? I have only bought one gun from them. It was a Henry lever .22 eight years ago for my youngest son's 10th birthday. It was cheaper there and most of the small shops had none in stock, so I would have had to order. I wanted to see the actual gun before I bought it.
If a guy is 18,19, or 20, he can easily buy a gun somewhere else.

More than you'd think I bet. Interesting question. I wonder what is the most popular caliber for gang/drug related gun shootings where the caliber is known and compare those numbers to the caliber used in gang/drug related deaths. We could then extrapolate from the data which really is the most effective at killing and make the whole process more efficient.
