Look I'm as pro gun as they get but even I can see 12 is a little young.I mean the OP was going to use age discrimination as his angle to fly his victim card... so how is any imposed age limitation not age discrimination then?
No one said you said that. It was a question based on your topic.
What discrimination? That the guy was under age? That store does not have to sell anything it doesn't to as long as that rule applies to ANYONE under 21.
Now, if the store refused to sell ammo only to black people under 21, but white people under 21 could buy it, that would be discrimination. This lawsuit won't survive an hour in court.

Fred Meyer, Bi-Mart sued for refusing to sell ammo to Oregon man, 20 | OregonLive.com
So do we support or fight discrimination??
The kid wasn't under age. It's legal for an 18 year old in Oregon to purchase a shotgun and ammunition. The decision was made at the store or corporate level.
Try again, it's legal to sell firearms and ammunition to people over the age of 18 in Oregon.

This is store policy, not Oregon law and it is clearly age discrimination. So do you support this kind of discrimination or do you fight against it?
Unless they're gay. and want to buy a cake.
Are you for allowing 12 year olds to leave school to go to an anti-gun protest?
We're for selling guns to people who are legally able to. The law states that a person 18 years old can buy a long gun.Are you for selling a gun to a 12 year old?

So what's your point? You think this is illegal age discrimination and the company should, by law, be forced to sell to anyone 18 and up?
Fight (or at least object on internet message boards). I’m opposed to refusing to sell firearms to adults based on their age, refusing to bake wedding cakes for couples based on their sexual orientation and refusing to allow innocent people in to your country based on their nationality. Are you with me?
Do you support a business to conduct business in the way they choose (within the law) and to serve or not serve customers in the way they want? Should the baker be forced to sell wedding cakes to homosexuals? Let's see if you are consistent.
Stupid question since a 12 year old isn't a legal adult. But you knew that, you were just trying to distract from the issue.
So.. Do you support age-based discrimination? C'mon, step up to the plate and stop playing stupid games with semantics and answer the question. You know what the question is and you know what the criteria are, so how about just answering the question instead of trying to play games...

Your question wasn't about what the law currently is, it was about whether we fight discrimination. The moral principles shouldn't be any different whether you're fighting someone breaking anti-discrimination laws or you're fighting laws that are themselves discriminatory.Only one of those actions is based on the law, the rest are based on what people want the law to be.
It is obvious that you do not understand what discrimination is. You need to get some book learning before posting next time. Meanwhile a company can set any limits it wants on purchases as long as it applies to all protected groups equally.

So you can discriminate as long as you are highly discriminatory about who you discriminate against.
Again you show your ignorance of the meaning of discrimination. Age limits are not discriminatory.

And something tells me these places WM/FM are trying to catch the wave. After all where do all these school kids shop at? I recall after Sandy Hook and all the hysterics about open carry that FM was one of the first big corps. to say we welcome them.

No, I understand perfectly well what discrimination is. It's when you apply your personal standard to a defined group of people in order to deny them their legal rights.
And we are about to get screwed over good. GUN CONFISCATION BALLOT MEASURE FILED. READ IT HERE. - Oregon Firearms FederationIn Oregon, yes they should be. Age is a characteristic within Oregon's public accommodation laws. I'm for following those.
