A major retailer used to sell muskets online. It stopped after a shooting death in Ohio. (nbcnews.com)

I guess we knew that was coming.

Yep, figured it would happen eventually.

It was a nuisance law suit, but like many it was cheaper to pay it. The next thing will be to sue a company for selling a steak knife that someone uses to kill someone. Bass Pro/Cabelas did nothing wrong. In Ohio, it is up to the convicted felon NOT to purchase the pistol. I'm battling an auction company in Ohio over shipping a ML to Michigan. They want it to go to a FFL. Ohio or Michigan law does not require it.

“Bryan Galliher would be alive today if Cabela’s had followed Ohio law to keep black powder guns out of the hands of prohibited purchasers,” Lowy said.

Really?
If the man went to the trouble to buy a black powder revolver, supplies and learn how to use it, I would say he was pretty intent on killing his neighbor.

They do. Also an angry face.

Just another push by the "Grabbers", and a fold by Johnny. The murder trial verdict was thrown out and a new trial was ordered.

What a mess this country is in.

They removed all the fire arms in all Walmart Md. and DE. stores

They don't have any ammunition either.

I think every civilization has gone through a similar process to what we in the firearms world are undergoing now, and have been undergoing since before the formation of the United States as a nation. There has ALWAYS been something that the educated elite wanted to prevent the less well off from having in every civilization that has ever existed. And the suppression of that particular thing eventually, has led to the civilizations downfall.

The Second Amendment was crucial to the passage of the Bill of Rights, and thus the Constitution. Many educated elitists in the 18th Century were firmly against individual firearms ownership, and almost prevented the creation of our country.

It has taken the better part of two and three quarters centuries for them to acquire enough power to try and eliminate individual firearms ownership in the only country in the world where such a thing was thought to be absolute, and they are giving it their best shot.

Every company like Bass Pro Shops, and Cabela's that capitulates just makes things a little worse.

Find a different supplier for (ALL) your sporting needs ) Fishing/hunting golf/tennis you get the picture . Adhere to it as this only works in a capitalist society and we are fast losing that! /Ed

I ordered a BP revolver from Midway and they wouldn't sell it to me cause I live in Washington State. Said they didn't like our gun laws. So I ordered it from another dealer and it was delivered to my door step.

The Walmart stores in Connecticut stopped selling guns right after Sandy Hook.

Several years ago, Cabelas would not ship a muzzleloader to me in Michigan despite no Michigan law prohibiting such.

Welcome to new jersey where you need a firearms id card to buy a bb gun........I believe sling-shots are exempt, but that might change.

When I moved to Michigan in 1988, a handgun firearms permit was required to purchase a .22 caliber pellet pistol.
