Not Dicks, not Wal-Mart. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 8397139 All the "military looking" rifles had been taken off the racks. Wall to wall people, standing in line to even look at the ammunition. People were finding the caliber(s) they were looking for and just scooping boxes of it off the shelves. Workers brought out a pallet of shotgun ammo and were trying to get in and restock. All kinds of talk about "buy it while you can" etc. One guy told me he'd come from Wal-Mart and they were sold out of most nearly everything. Got to the checkout and saw multiple people in lines with several boxes of ammo in hand. It was nuts! As much as they may want to....they cannot revoke The Second Amendment. This will blow over in time. unfortunately I heard today that they will take them by passing laws and regulations forcing every gun to be insured by a huge amount of money. Just like they have done all around the country with Pit Bull dogs. You can't afford the insurance , so, by default you can't have the dog.

I do know that one guy there was on the phone to his buddy saying "Nope, none on the shelves. None at all." A bit later he was over near me looking at ammo and he asked the guy who was trying to restock the shotgun shells about it. The stocker only said "Yeah, they took them off the shelves at Wal-Mart and Dicks" which kind of led me to believe they'd been taken down. It could be they had already sold out though, the stocker guy didn't really say. |

"....shall not be infringed" Read the Second Amendment. Insurance is typically a private contract, but they can daisy chain it into government enforcement. For example most states will not allow you to "use" your drivers license or "maintain" registration (title, plates) UNLESS you have liability insurance. The home owners insurance industry can make rates astronomical if you report you have a gun in your home. The banks can refuse to issue you a home loan unless you carry insurance. Even if you own your home free and clear: utility, fire/EMS can refuse to service your home without insurance. See how they can do it if they want to? Nobody ever wins against government. |
