Eyes up guys

[SGT Dave]

I don't understand why this is a big deal.

1) It sounds like more American citizens exercising their constitutional rights.
2) You said yourself they passed background checks.
3) Academy currently doesn't have enough ammo for one person, let alone 30.

Good, everyone has the right to defend themselves, their families and their property!

Just curious, if it was 30 white guys, would you also have sent out a warning?!?

Otherwise, I smell BS!

 

[ZX9RCAM]

It all just sounds very "sensational ".

 

[Axxe55]

It's exactly things like this that make people call other people racist. Not knowing the facts, and making off the cuff assumptions based upon a person's skin color.

If they were getting off a bus wearing hoodies and caps displaying "I Support BLM" , then MAYBE some sense of concern might be warranted, but even given that, if they legally were able to buy guns, then regardless of whether they support or advocate the BLM or not, doesn't stop them from buying legally acquired guns.

So, they broke into one Academy, then a group of 30 legally bought guns at another Academy?

Austin, Houston. Not related aside from weird shit!

The responses in this thread give me pride in the forum.

There just nothing wrong with legally purchasing firearms. I’m not sure what the issue is?

Great for them and great for Academy. Capitalism at its finest.

The greatest thing about this country is that if the people are going to condemn someone for "something bad", they have to do "something bad" first. We see what you were trying to do here, but in all honesty, it comes off the screen as very prejudicial and frankly un-American.

Leave race and skin color out of it:

FIFY

Yesterday afternoon around 4pm six [] males entered an unnamed pawn shop in NW Houston to buy ammo. This was preceded by 30 []males buying handguns from Academy and passing a background check.

Sounds like one heck of a weekend of ka-pow and rock and roll.

Here's a really curious question that popped into my mind. Did your buddy observe all 30 people pass a NCIS background check, or is he doing some exaggerating? Seems to me he sure has a lot of extra time on his hands! Maybe your buddy might have some racist tendencies you might to consider. Just an observation.

Yes, it definitely sounds weird to me that a group of 30 people walked into an Academy together, and all bought guns.

It's the numbers, folks. I'd be posting if it was 30 skinheads. The organization is what's alarming me.

Where I live most people don't speak to my wife since she is brown. Oh, They suck it up and ask if she'll help with little Jimmy's spanish lesson but otherwise no.

I have more friends of color I'd give a gun to than whites. My phone list(my friends, taking out family)is more dark than light but I grew up working in a majority non white warehouse, as did my Father.

I speak to everyone walking in my neighborhood and I DO get the stinkeye for it but I don't care.

 

[Axxe55]

Personally, I have never hung around any gun store checking out who passes, or doesn't pass a background check. Especially thirty people!

 

[Big Dipper]

Is this the same “story” with a slightly different flavor?

Coming to your hometown...

Some of y'all know I work as a mechanic in N Austin. Well, we happen to service some DPS and other state vehicles regularly now. On Monday, I heard a charter bus full of people visited the local harbor freight in south Austin. Not first hand information but close enough. Kinda of non-typical...

So what if thirty skin-heads walk into a store and buy guns? If they pass a background check, they are within their Constitutional rights to do so. Until a crime is committed, or a law is broken, it's none of anyone's business, but their's.

Surveilling is a hobby?

 

[ZX9RCAM]

But, it is definitely weird if true.
As I said, seems pretty sensational.

 

[dennisz]

At Academy, I don’t think they could process 30 firearm purchases in an 8 hour shift, with all their processes, it takes a good 45 minutes to get 1 purchase done.

Good point. I think from what I'm hearing background checks are taking much longer due to the huge increase in recent gun sales, across the country.

 

[ZX9RCAM]

I certainly hope that management would take a step back, if a group of 30 walked in together to purchase guns.

Yes, it would be totally within their rights....

 

[seeker_two]

So....you're saying that Houston now has 30 new gun owners?.....

I'm good with that.

I can’t believe Academy has handguns in stock. The ones near me have been OOS for a long time.

I went to a couple last weekend that had a variety in stock at the time. Maybe people realize they can't find ammo to put them in.
