We Should All Be Suing Dick’s & Walmart

Several multinational corporations were quick to throw aside capitalism in the wake of the recent Florida school shooting and instead pursue social justice at the expense of American civil liberties. Rather than continuing to serve their customers by exchanging goods and services for cash, companies like Walmart, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Delta Airlines and others have launched attacks against the Second Amendment.

Delta was quick to cave under an avalanche of pressure from its second amendment supporting customers, but Dick’s and Walmart have not learned their lesson yet. Fortunately, a 20-year-old Oregon man has decided to adopt a strategy that every American should wholeheartedly endorse: He is trying to sue the pants off of Walmart and Dick’s.

Walmart and Dick’s have both snootily declared that they will no longer sell firearms to anyone under the age of 21. Tyler Watson says the companies are discriminating against him and all other 18-, 19- and 20-year-olds in America who are trying to exercise a constitutional right.

We want to note that Mr. Watson is old enough to vote and, if he should choose to do so, to proudly defend his home nation using any and all firearms at the disposal of the US military, if he should sign up to serve. But Dick’s and Walmart have decided on their own, and in violation of state and federal laws, that they shall suspend Mr. Watson’s rights in the pursuit of destroying the Second Amendment.

Mr. Watson is well within his rights to sue. Oregon law allows anyone over age 18 to purchase a rifle or a shotgun. Mr. Watson attempted to buy a .22 rifle from a subsidiary of Dick’s and the sale was denied. He is simply too young and irresponsible, according to Dick’s and Walmart.

This will surely offend the sensibilities of many liberals and social justice warriors who live in places like California and New York, but it needs to be said. In parts of America where we have not yet been browbeaten into thinking that the Constitution and the Bill of Rights are outmoded and dangerous, using firearms is a way of life for us. Millions of Americans, all of whom are innocent of shooting up schools in Florida or elsewhere, agree with this position.

In Oregon, where Mr. Watson is from, for example, it is perfectly legal for a 12-year-old child (male or female, black or white) to obtain a hunting license and carry a rifle out in the woods to kill a deer or an elk. Children as young as 9 can join a youth hunter mentoring program and participate in the sport of game hunting with a responsible elder. Thousands of children in states that have not forgotten about the Constitution participate in this activity every year. None of them ever shoot up schools or any other location. They do this for sport, to put food on the table and because it is a way of life.

Millions of other Americans, who are also innocent of the Florida shooting or any other mass shooting, diligently go to the firing range every week to hone their shooting skills. These people practice their skills because they want to prepare for a day that will likely never come — one in which they are required to use their firearms to defend hearth and home from an invader, whether that invader is a common thief or an uncommon one acting under the cloak of a government agency. Shooting for the sake of honing personal firearms skills is also a way of life.

Millions of additional Americans, who again, are innocent of the Florida shooting, gather up bottles, cans, jugs of water, honeydew melons and anything else that might make a good target, and drive off to a nice open area and shoot these items. We do this for the sheer joy of shooting things and watching what bullets do to those things.

If we are feeling especially cheeky, we might refer to this activity as “recycling,” because those cans were going to the nearest dumpster before we rescued them for target duty. This activity — shooting for the sheer joy of doing it because it is fun — is likewise a way of life. Plenty of Americans who are under the age of 21 enjoy partaking in these activities.

Dick’s and Walmart have decided that millions of Americans are guilty of the Florida school shooting because of our way of life, and that we are no longer entitled to our constitutional right to defend our own lives.

We hope that the trial lawyers who have chosen to represent Tyler Watson’s case have especially sharp teeth. May they be as vicious in defending our rights in the courtroom as we would be if a social justice warrior ever came knocking on our door to collect our guns.

    I hope the young man wins a billion dollars……from each.

  2. TERRY Edwards says

    Will it never stop. I will give them my weapon when they give up their cars, more kids are killed in them than by guns.

  3. Deeper says

    Why is it that an 18 year old person can drive a car and go into the military where they could shoot a rifle at the enemy and still not be able to own and fire a weapon as a civilian? The 2nd Amendment does not place an age requirement for owning a firearm.

  4. thomas says

    well first of all i would not buy a gun at walmart . they really dont have the gun of my dreams there anyways . as far as selling to the 18 to 21 year olds its up to them who they sell to . they have always had a screwed up policy about there guns and ammo sales some people go in and buy up all the 22 lr ammo and they dont care if they leave any on the shelves for anyone else that mite want to buy some . if you call the store and find out when they get there deliverys of ammo you can go there when they upen and buy the stock up before it gets to the shelf

  5. Dan says

    I hope he wins but maybe this will start a class action suite that will reverse this crap.

  6. James Hixson says

    I’ll say this was just a way to get in the news. I believe you should not vote, buy liquor or beer, or serve in the military until your 21. Kids mature different so 21 is a good age to grow up.

  7. david says

    i think it’s bs these 2 stores should be boycotted and no business done there,drive their sales into the toilet and put them out of business i know i quit doing business with wal-mart yrs ago their a bunch of hypocrite losers and assholes.

  8. Larry says

    If i am old enough to be drafted into the military I should be able to buy a rifle at age 18 the same age as the draft.

  9. Alan says

    The possibilities of such legal actios are particularly interesting especially in the several states that have specific age discrimination statutes. Then there is federal law and the possible violations thereof to consider.

  10. Normand says

    I agree with the gun dealers opinion. What you need to understand is that less then 1% of men and women serve in our Armed Forces today. What I would suggest is that if anyone between 18 and 20 wants to purchase a weapon, if they are serving in one of our branches of the armed forces he or she need to show them their Armed Forces ID card. If they are on active duty and either living on base or off base they must register their gun with the duty Officer in Security.
    Each branch of the military is different and each branch have different rules concerning having a private gun on base, so a military person must know what the rules are for on base guns prior to purchasing a gun.

  11. boone1 says

    If you have to be 21 to buy a weapon you should have to be 21 to vote end of story.

  12. Richard Lawver says

    I think it is ok that they raise the selling age to 21 for the every day person. But I believe the catch should be a military ID Card. With the military ID card the selling age could be dropped to the age of 18.

  13. STEVEN UNDERCOFFER says

    The media still does not acknowledge the increasing big issues regarding the other killers. Texting while driving is right at the top still today! A woman was doing so and almost took me out on I 65 North. I looked over to my right and yep, tapping away! I honked, she looked at me and flipped the finger. Oh, the media still will not cover the the student that last month shoved a sharpened pencil into schoolmates torsos and the other kid who arrived at school and walked down the hall stabbing other students. The witchunt against 2nd Amendment ownership is unbelievably insane!

  14. ernaldo says

    I hope the young man wins ten billion dollars……from each.
