Age Verification to read articles about firearms

[xwing]

Ran into this on the Cabelas website today and the NRA website recently:




That's just terrible. It's now illegal in some states to inform minors about firearms. I can't begin to even describe how terrible and wrong that is!

All we seem to want the next generation to know about is gender deviation and Marxism. I guess that will make it easier to round them up to serve the elites.

Ran into that on Gunbroker. I have been a member of that site for 20 years and since I have done business on the site, they know my age. I sent them a memo asking them why a 20 year member needed to verify that he was over 18. They don't ask me that anymore.

Interesting. That explains why many sites are suddenly starting to ask if I'm over 18.

Do you suppose they're afraid of legal trouble in some fashion? Lawyers rule the world after all, and everyone's afraid of getting cancelled done way or another.

It's probably because of the anti-gunners suing gun companies for "marketing to kids".

Not surprising, they want the only voice in the youth's ear to be anti gun in the hopes they grow up to voting age to also hate guns and to also be in favor of losing 2a rights because "safety." Quite disgusting and underhanded really.

I remember when I was in middle school I was sent to the Principle's office for checking out books from the library regarding military tech and they had pages written about 1911's and Browning HP's. I guess reading them in class was to much.

I was lectured as if I did something wrong and that guns weren't something to "like" and were "bad." My school was also ran by libs.

But kids only need to be around 6 years old with no restrictions to read about how to have sex and have sex changes ...........
all while in school .

And yet the books were in the school library? LOL. I wonder if they had a surveillance camera aimed at that shelf in hopes of "catching" someone checking it out.

I know right, they were unassuming with plain blue hard covers. lol

One of my teachers saw me reading them and talking about guns and they took offense to it.

My parents used every tool in the toolbox to try to crush my autistic interest in firearms.

Now 40% of my net worth is firearms. Newsom is just selling more guns.

 

[Twangbanger]

Takes you right back to the Doonesbury war against Joe Camel, doesn't it?

Newsom signs gun laws that add new taxes and limit where owners can carry firearms

Among more than 20 gun-control laws California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed are one to tax ammunition and firearms, and another limiting who can obtain a concealed-carry permit.

I was wondering why that age verification that pops up on every gun site came from.

As if there are no other problems in California that need attention.

Remember when other certain websites would ask for your age and you put in 01/01/1900?

Yes, I believe this is exactly the plan. The leftists already run all the schools, and now they are systematically restricting all other voices, so that all the youth will hear is the left-wing version of things. It's why the left hates freedom of speech so much.

Yup its why i thought of my middle school office trip for reading about guns. Mind you this was back in 2002ish.

I took it as they tried to scare me by being in the office as if i was in trouble for having the nerve for liking guns at all and that it leads to "trouble" hence the office lecturing.

Was that before or after the Libs were rewriting books to be Political Correct?

I dunno, this was over 20 years ago but all the teachers there were pretty liberal on their views and made it clear to me they didn't like guns or their private ownership among citizens.
