As for the Walmart comment, I'm referring to guns that do not require registration. Our local news sent an undercover reporter in to buy a gun, and he came out with one in 5 minutes. Paid cash and was never even asked for ID.
You have some valid points. I guess the bottom line is this: This is a privately owned website, and if the owner doesn't want us to sell marijuana (or purple shoes or Swiss cheese) it's his right to deny it for any reason he sees fit.

I am sorry, but I don't believe that for an instant. Walmart needs to have a FFL in order to sell guns, and they are REQUIRED to process FEDERAL paperwork for every gun they sell. If that had really happened, that Walmart would have been in a lot of trouble, with people arrested and the store losing their FFL. So no, I don't believe that news source at all. If it had it would be front page news everywhere right now. Is that news source typically anti-gun? That would certainly explain the "story".

Only from a private party within your state of residence, and only if not illegal in your state and local jurisdiction. You cannot LEGALLY purchase a gun from a FFL holder without jumping through a bunch of legal hoops in order to do so. Period.

Once the community find out this is an anti medical cannabis website. Oh well, I'll tell you this much I was thinking of upgrading my membership prior to this. Now not.

Booming industry or not, sorry, but at this time there are far too many gray areas involved for me to want to allow drugs to be openly advertised on this site for ANY reason. Personally, I don't care if anyone burns their brains to ashes with drugs, but until I feel that it is mainstream enough that this site doesn't APPEAR to be encouraging illegal behavior, that's just going to have to be the way it is. Sorry your own personal interests have to suffer because of this decision, but it is what it is.
And yeah, you can bet your bottom dollar that I'm scared silly about your spreading the word about my decision on how I run this site to drug related sites you may frequent...
And as well, I guess I'm going to go have therapy to keep from slitting my wrists over your not upgrading your membership too.
Seriously do you REALLY think your ex post facto threats mean a hill of beans to me? I know it's all BS. You never intended to upgrade at all. But you think it's going to somehow make me feel bad, I suppose, thinking I missed out on those big bucks (
) from you. Nice try, but sorry, big FAIL on that attempt.
Tell you what, keep your money and use it to buy your drugs with. And enjoy the happy times that money buys you.
Sheesh.... Every day is a new adventure around here.....
