Bipartisan Senate group proposes ‘no fly, no buy’ gun measure

I'm sure there's a group of lawyers who will eventually represent all legal purchaser's/ legal gun owners that Dick's refuses to sell particular guns to that are legally available for sale in all of their stores. How many people will that be eventually? I don't know but I'm sure it's adding up as we speak and as time continues. Think about it, 2-3 relatively minor refusals a day adds up to around fifty to a hundred illegal refusals per month per store. We'll see who's right within a year or two.

I suspect that Dick's will get a quick ruling on this.  Torts are not criminal law, but there are rules.  First, the plaintiffs will have to be certified as a class, or this doesn't work at all.  Second, they have to show cause.  In other words, you can't just sue for no reason. Third, they will almost certainly try this in Federal Court, where class actins go to die.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
