Dana Loesch really is an excellent spokesperson for our side. She's talking to Martha McCallum right now.

I think President Trump is trying to get folks to show their cards..., the folks who don't think Feinstein is liberal enough any longer for example.

Isn't this age discrimination by a corporation?

Not legally. Discrimination laws protect historically disadvantaged groups. In age cases, the statute applies to those over 40.

Just compare it to drinking laws or smoking laws--those are permissible situations where you make distinctions based on age, without it being "discrimination."

Trump is not a legislator. Let them put in a carry reciprocity amendment as a poison pill and kill any gun control bill that comes out of either house.

Yeah, but those are laws passed by the state. There is no law in this case prohibiting the sale to those under 21 (depending on the store's location). The store is the one deciding that those under 21 aren't worthy.

It's meaningless puffery.

Due Process is not something you can just wish away, even if you are the Chief Executive.

I actually think it's kind of funny and may be somewhat of a tongue-in-cheek challenge to the Democrats : "ok, you want to take away America's guns without due process, let's see you write some legislation that will accomplish that and still be workable under the Constitution."

If not, with all the high-powered advisors Trump has at his disposal, I'd hope that they could explain the concept to him.

I'm concerned, though, that Due Process has eroded already, and with such a lack of understanding it could erode even more.

re: Walmart and Dick's.

Similar to the existence of the TSA, it's all "dog and pony." If anything, this will bring younger shooters into legit gun stores where they will be helped by someone who actually knows a thing or two about guns. It might actually be educational for them.

" I'm certain that we'll be very happy together. I just need to teach her how to make a sammich."

Congratulations Gustov.
I'm sure she doesn't spread it on quite as thick as some.....

I agree with this 100%.

Individual states may do some asinine law-making also so watch out for that .

A Civil Liberty lost to a State Government is just as lost as it would be to the Federal Government.

How long do you think it would take to ban EBRs across the country? It's already done for all practical purposes in California, Maryland, and I don't know how many other states and localities. It may happen here in Illinois tonight. Just today in Springfield several laws passed that had been rejected soundly over the last few years, and there are proposals for magazine limits and Assault Rifle bans that will be voted on in the next few days.

BERNIE SANDERS COLLUDED WITH A FOREIGN GOVERNMENT DURING PRESIDENTIAL CAMPIAGN

FEBRUARY 28, 2018| BY BRIAN ANDERSON

After a year and a half of hearing about how Donald Trump colluded with the Russians to steal the presidential election away from Hillary Clinton without a shred of proof, there is finally some concrete evidence that a presidential candidate did collude with a foreign government. Unfortunately for the hysterical left, it’s not Trump but rather Bernie Sanders. Yup the socialist kook who has accused President Trump of collusion was actually just fined by the FEC for illegally receive aid from a foreign government.

In a recently filled Federal Election Commission report, we learn that in 2015 Sanders’ campaign was approached by the Australian Labor Party about sending some volunteers to help Bernie’s bid for president. Of course Bernie said yes, because he’s a socialist and who is more socialist than people from anything called the labor party?

Where Sanders ran onto trouble is that the Aussie LP paid for the volunteers to fly to America and gave them a stipend to live on. I know that socialists like Sanders don’t understand how money works, but it’s actually against the law for a presidential candidate to accept cash from a foreign government. With the Australian volunteers being financed by the Australian Labor Party, it’s the same thing as Bernie taking in big sacks of money from faction of the Australian government.

All told the FEC says Sanders’ campaign received $25,000 from the Australians. Sanders and his campaign were aware that the Australian LPers were being paid by the government, but didn’t think it was a big deal, because as I already said, socialists don’t understand jack-squat about money.

The FEC fined Sanders $14,500 in civil penalties for violating campaign law, which seems like nothing. It should at least be the amount he received in aid, plus some punitive fines to make sure people don’t do this kind of thing again.

You may have noticed by the complete lack of coverage by the liberal media that this doesn’t appear to be that big of a story. Try replacing “Australia” with “Russia” and “Bernie Sanders” with “Donald Trump” and suddenly you’d have the biggest story of the Trump presidency. It’s amazing how things are only outrageous when they are done by non-liberals, isn’t it?

This comes on the heels of another big Sanders-related story that the liberal media ignored. When special counsel Robert Mueller indicted 13 Russians for meddling in the 2016 presidential election one of the hardly reported details was that Sanders’ campaign benefitted from the Russian attempts to influence the election. Again, very weird how the media treats Trump like a criminal but doesn’t bat an eye at Bernie.

If you are keeping score at home: Bernie Sanders is a socialist who also happens to be wealthy and owns three mansions. He has made his political career all about attacking the big banks for doing illegal and unethical things and yet is under investigation for bank fraud. He has accused President Trump of colluding with a foreign government in the 2016 election with no proof, but actually did collude with a foreign government himself. That’s a hypocrisy hat-trick. Whoever bet that Bernie trifecta just got a huge payday.

Good job FEC. Now do Hillary.

Walmart raises age to buy a gun to 21


Walmart said on Wednesday that customers under 21 would no longer be allowed to purchase firearms from its stores, CNBC reports.

"In light of recent events, we've taken an opportunity to review our policy on firearm sales. Going forward, we are raising the age restriction for purchase of firearms and ammunition to 21 years of age ... We are also removing items from our website resembling assault-style rifles, including nonlethal airsoft guns and toys. Our heritage as a company has always been in serving sportsmen and hunters, and we will continue to do so in a responsible way..."

Walmart apparently agrees with the Demokrats that no one under 21 can make a rational decision. So when will the Dems push to raise the voting and driving ages to 21?

To be fair to our beleaguered AG, unlike his previous public lashings from the president, he didn’t take this one sitting down. Responding in a statement, Sessions said ““as long as I am Attorney General, I will continue to discharge my duties with integrity and honor.”

We’ll have to wait and see if this latest name-calling from the president is enough to get him to step down….

Is this the same Walmart that said they were going to stop carrying ammo after Sandy hook?

This is the messiness that goes with being DJT. As pointed out earlier watch what he does, not says. And try to be the last person to speak to him on any topic......

Irrational responses to an emotional situation.

Yep. They said they would not place any new orders and just sell out their remaining stock. Their shelves were empty anyway due to the panic so it was a meaningless gesture.

Their shelves are full now. I guess they ordered more.

Did I hear correctly? Did Trump tell a congressman that the reason the congressman didn't have a requirement to be 21 to purchase a rifle in his proposal was "because you're afraid of the NRA"...?

I think Trump is trying to play both sides at this point. He did just shut down Feinstein on another assault weapons ban. Basically told her you just need to work together to strengthen background checks, the usual bs from diane ”.... but, but ARs!!! Weapons of war !!!”

He just wanted to see if he could get Dianne's panties wet.
