L.L. Bean latest company to ban people under 21 from buying rifles

Outdoor retailer L.L. Bean will no longer sell rifles to anyone under 21.

The company joined retail heavyweights Walmart and Dick's Sporting Goods in changing policies in the wake of the Florida school massacre.

L.L. Bean said in a statement late Thursday that it will no longer sell guns or ammunition to anyone under the age of 21.




Company spokeswoman Carolyn Beem said L.L. Bean only sells firearms at its flagship store in Maine and only guns specific to hunting and target shooting.

We can do it! FWSmith@fedex.com ..... email the CEO of Fed Ex since he benefits financially by giving the killers (the NRA) shipping deals and discounts.

WTF!!! It's like trying to stop Mt St Helens from erupting by putting a handkerchief over the top of it.
You wanna do something that is meaningful?? Stop selling the motherfucking things. PERIOD.
Fuck you and your half assed policy. It's nothing more than a gesture.
