Political correctness really wrecks the world though, doesn't it?
To your comment:
1. Lawsuits won't work, because the courts are full of liberal judges who legistrate on the bench. Trump is not putting conservative judges in there fast enough, and he's about to be taken out by a porn star.
2. After the banks take out the major gun maker, the liberals will move in to impose high tax on ammo, and the remaining guns, and gun parts. By then, guns, and gun parts will be so scarce, and too expensive to own.
I disagree. If the Trump Presidency has taught us anything is that we should pay no mind to those who say it can't be done. "They" said a trade war with China would be devastating for us, and now China is talking compromise. "They" said there'd be a nuclear war with North Korea and now DPRK is trying to decide how to disarm - not WHETHER to disarm, but HOW. "They" said Trump can't possibly build a wall, but the temporary budget deal leaves a lot of wiggle room to pay for prototypes and get the project started. The list goes on and on. Every time "they" think he can't do something, he does it.
While there have been some recent setbacks from the courts, the game has only started. We need to put up a fight, but we have an advantage - we're fighting for rights, and they're trying to take them away.
In addition, where there's money to be made, someone will be there. The only for-profit businesses stupid enough to walk away from profits are those who don't see anything to gain by staying. If they do leave profit on the table, someone will step in to take it. That's what capitalism does.
