Could anyone tell me why the Astromart "classifieds" disallow the selling of guns? The guaranteed keeping and bearing of arms is the only amendment to our Constitution that suffers such discrimination. Can you imagine what would happen if Astromart denied women the right to place ads? What would you think if Astromart was biased against Newtonian scopes and rejected any sale, or even mention of same?

Being a Texan, and a CHL holder, I will always be able to protect myself and my loved ones against anyone attempting to cause us harm: And I won't be using a long focal length refractor.

When hammers are outlawed, only outlaws will have hammers.

I have a friend in England who has told me that if someone breaks into your home there, and in the act of resisting, you injure the intruder, you will be charged with assualt. GOD BLESS THE U.S.A.

Bill, most, if not all, of the newspapers in Texas have a "guns for sale" classification in their want ad sections. We also have gun shows where people sell guns to perfect strangers with no paperwork involved. Kinda like what you would expect in a state that respects the second amendment. Most Texans would succeed from the union, mainly to protect our border with Mexico.
