you would be asked, under oath, for the reason and the cause.Perhaps, perhaps not -- I am not under any obligation to prove myself correct or help my accuser prove his case.this is dumb, and you know it. yes, the individual would have a rough time proving their case, although when deposed as to why you thought the person could not legally buy the seller would either have to perjure themselves or admit their deed. they would also surely be required to support the reason they made up - something that isn't easy to do.You aren't soundly addressing my questions - clearly you understand that you haven't a leg to stand on here, and you have no hope of showing my position to be unsound.I just told you. Look up what the word means. In this case it can be, but not necessarily is, legal discrimination.How is not selling a gun to someone I believe cannot legally own a gun a form of discrimination?Discrimination means, in this case,selling to one but not another.
Fact is that I am required by law to not sell a gun to anyone I believe cannot legally own a gun.
Fact is that if you want to claim that I did not sell you the gun not because I believed you were unable to legally own a gun but rather because I wanted to discriminate against you because of your status as a protected class, the onus is completely and fully on you to prove that I did so.discriminate -- including the burden to prove that I indeed had no reason to believe that you were unable to legally own a gun.
Fact is you know you have no chance of that happening because you cannot prove that I did NOT see whatever I said I saw to make me believe you were unable to legally own a gun.
Eat it and smile.
I eagerly await your response that will only serve to prove you know all of what I just said is true.
That would, of course depend on how many Muslims cam into my store and were denied a sale based on my discretion -- need three or more to establish a pattern -- and how many of them could prove they were so denied.next, if that was the policy, the accuser would be able to show a pattern....
look, bank robbers sometimes get away with it too. so do murderers. but just because they can sometime evade prosecution doesn't mean the law is on their side.
