I might prefer that retailers were still selling classical compact disks, but the economic realities do not support this. It  is no longer a profit for a merchant of audio and video. I must rely instead upon what I already have or resort to internet transactions. It may be a pity, but that is something to which I must adjust.

All states have a legal minimum age of 21 for the sale and consumption of into0xicating liquors even if the legal age for voting is 18. Youth between the ages of 18 and 21 were troublesome customers of alcoholic beverages because they  
were more likely to drive drunk than  older drivers and because 18-year-old boys were using alcohol to loosen the inhibitions of girls under 18 to have sex and get pregnant and contract STDs for which they were unready. But as  it is, intoxicating liquors are heavily regulated. 18-year-olds have been getting firearms for younger gang members.

Guns? I can think of people to whom I do not want guns sold. People too stupid to merit execution (that is an IQ of 70 or less) probably should be denied firearms. Likewise anyone adjudicated insane. If one has diminished capacity for purposes of criminal sentencing, then one should not have a firearm. Persons who have committed a crime (and making a terrorist threat as did Nikolas Cruz) should not get firearms. Addicts and habitual drunks? Likewise. Me? Sure. A little over a year and a half ago I left hints that I was contemplating suicide as everything went wrong in my life.

I see Dick's Sporting Goods making a decision that capitalist firms do frequently, cutting a line of merchandise because that merchandise either

(1) is no longer profitable to sell
(2) it does not handle well, or
(3) the product line creates risks of huge losses due to liability lawsuits.

Dick's isn't taking them off their shelves. Dick's is excluding a certain group of legal aged customers from buying them in their stores. I can still buy one at Dick's Sporting Good's. I won't but I could.

BTW, I should also mention that exterminating dumb people sounds like something Hitler would suggest, German people would support and the SS would see to carrying out.
