StarTrib endorses Mills, expects he'll wise up on gun contro

[gun_fan111]

[quote="Thunder71"]I just find it odd that for how much he's pro 2A, it's (Fleet Farm) the only place I buy guns where I have to fill out their own additional form and be escorted out with my item(s).

Cabela's escorts you out too.

I was escorted out of Joe's Sporting Goods.

As was I when I made a firearm purchase at Dick's. What an appropriately named store... [/quote]

Didn't they stop selling firearms a couple of years ago? Or was it just handguns?

I don't recall them ever selling handguns under the Dick's name, but IIRC Galyan's did. Dick's stopped selling EBRs after Sandy Hook.

Personally, I don't shop there for guns - too many other places with better prices (GM being one of the few exceptions).
I do on occasion buy ammunition there, but typically only shotgun (best prices in town on Win AA) or the occasional box of 5.56.

I was at the Richfield store this past spring and only saw shotguns & bolt action rifles. You can order handguns though.

I haven't really spent much any time looking at the Star and Sickle's endorsements, but this one certainly seems odd. Considering how late in the process this endorsement is coming, it reeks to me of jumping on the winning bandwagon.

This makes them look like they are centrists, and it also gives the illusion of them having a meaningful say in the discussion.

Which considering the "Star and Sickle's" readership, if said readership buys into the endorsement, decides to vote for Stewart Mills, and he is truly is pro 2A, then this is a good thing. If he's not or if Nolan wins in the election, then gun owners are still in the same position. To me, still a good thing as long as ground has not been lost.

I think the Strib just likes to be on the winning side. That way they can claim influence.
