Age Discrimination

In the wake of the deadly school shooting in Florida last week, one gun shop owner has decided to act, and will no longer sell AR-15 rifles to people under age 21. [More]
Fine. Sue his ass, f-ing idiot.

Anybody see a story mentioning the name of the gun shop?  Curious they want to make gun owner feedback so hard.

One thing I've noticed about these exhibitionists is it never seems to be easy or straightforward to trace their inernet footprints for political affiliations, yet they all seem to have no problem getting widespread media attention. It really seems like preparations are in place to activate when opportunity arises.

A Second Amendment Guy

Now, I’m a Second Amendment guy. I believe Americans who are sane and not criminals and pass a genuine background test should be allowed to own weapons for home protection and for target shooting and for self-defense. [More]
So you're not really "a Second Amendment guy."

Anyone know why? Anyone...?

What if They Gave a Reenactment and Nobody Came?

The reenactment was to include firing black powder muskets as a part of the history lesson, but the group was told that’s against the rules. According to a city law which says you cannot “Use, maintain, possess, fire, or discharge any firearm.” [More]
Yep -- and it's ironic, considering the Red Coats being the "Only Ones" authorized to bear arms was what gave us something to reenact in the first place. Under "Park Regulations":
9.36.061 Firearms, air guns, and other weapons. No person other than peace officers in the discharge of their duties shall use, maintain, possess, fire, or discharge any firearm, air gun, spring gun, bow and arrow, slingshot, or any other weapon potentially dangerous to wildlife or human safety, except in areas, at times, and under conditions designated by the Director for such use. 
It could be that there are certain lawfully-enacted steps that must be followed for rule waivers, including notification and public comment periods, and that safety and liability considerations would need to be satisfied. That said, if the park district has known about this since "late last year," there's not much reason why that couldn't have been worked out by now except bureaucrats behaving like bureacrats.

My guess is if they really wanted to, they could have.

So who is "the Director"? And which council members have not been working to resolve this?

Any chance they could be "incentivized"?
