After all if one is old enough to enlist and fight for our country then they should be able to buy an AR or a shotgun with a pistol grip. To refuse to sell these to people under a certain age because of a cosmetic feature shows immaturity on his part. Being scared of cosmetic features is something the anti's want people to be so they can pick away at our rights.

By your reasoning I should have to sell my guns to anyone who offers my asking price. The law determines who we may sell too. not who we must sell too. I for instance would not sell anything to anyone wearing a hoodie in Texas in July even if it is legal. I will agree even agree that it should be legal to sell too people in hoodies. That doesn't mean should all have to treat hoodies people with respect.

The age of someone isn't just a cosmetic difference. Even though my hoodie dislike is. While there are some 18-20 year olds that are mature and trustworthy, there are fewer of them than there are 21 and older.

A big difference. Mr. Carter is doing what he feels is right and that he should be able to to sell to whom he wants or doesn't want to. He isn't telling anyone else who to sell too. The Brady's believe that they should make the rules on whom we can sell or not sell to.

Hypothetical example.

I might not like AK47s. I refuse to sell them or even own them. Maybe I don't like the type of people that buy them. Or the people that make them. Don't I have a right not to buy and sell them? But do I have the the right to interfere with other people? Should I support their right to buy and own one?

There is a big difference between not being a part of something and being against it.

My family has purchased several firearms from them over the past decade and we've always enjoyed going there.

I won't support a company that has policies that are more restrictive than the gun laws themselves.

Maybe I'm just being an augmentative libertarian here, but I would rather the government stay out of most things and let private business make their own decisions. The government has screws us more than than any sporting goods store has. I personally wouldn't sell any gun to anyone under 21, unless I knew them real well. This doesn't mean the government should make the laws any tougher just that we and businesses should be able to make decisions that they are comfortable with.
