Sir Brian:
Of honor and integrity from this gun store owner!
Huzzah and well done!

Sir William:
I caught this on the AA- in short, it caused a bit of a brou-ha-ha over there; the 2ndA advocates cried foul (understandably so) and the gun-grabber apologists were unsure of what the big deal was.  Just goes to show you people only believe what they want to.

Good for this gun shop owner, he isn't just about making a buck but about staying true to the cause.  They are after our 2nd A rights people...don't think for a minute that that is not what it is all about.

Sir James A:
Awesome!

And Kelly said "took a matter of minutes" while glazing over the fact it would be days before he would actually be cleared to pick it up. He says it so casually as if he just "bought it too" within minutes. But he didn't take possession of it. So ... he can have a 45, but an AR-15 is too dangerous? Well he didn't get the gun, so did he just prove a point contrary to what he wanted to?

Let's throw that in medieval context, for fun:


--- Quote ---I'm sorry, Sir Shopsalot, but we can't sell you a long sword any more. Anything over a 30 inch blade length is deemed an assault sword. Here, have a look at this arming sword with a 26 inch blade. That's plenty for home defense and hunting. What's that? Oh, the roving landscknechts and their 50 inch blades? Don't worry, just wave your sword in the air 6 times and they'll run away. Oh 6? Yes that's plenty, nobody needs to swing their sword 10 or more times. Who? The town guards? Of course they have long swords, why shouldn't they? You? You don't need a big sword anyway.
--- End quote ---

As far as I'm concerned, Kelly still has the 2nd amendment right to *OWN* an AR-15; however along with rights goes responsibilities and consequences. He has a right to own, and if he's going to make a public stink about it, the shop owner has just as much right to not sell it to him either. Doesn't mean he can't go buy from another store, and maybe he'll think about why the store owner didn't sell to him. It's like 7-11 - no shirt, no shoes, no service - except it's, pass your NICS check, don't be a jerk, and you can buy a gun. He wasn't denied any constitutional rights, he just caught his karma for his actions.

Sir Brian:
Well put! And the medieval context is hilarious! Well done!  :)

Sir Edward:
lol, nicely done.

Yeah, that's something that happens quite a lot, and the anti-gunners overlook-- Gun stores deny sales all the time, when they have doubts about how the person is going to use it. They probably do as good of a job as the instant background checks.
