WAS STILL ABLE TO BUY A GUN,
WE'RE DECIDED WE'RE NOT SELLING
ASSAULT-TYPE RIFLES ANY LONGER.
LIZ: THAT IS DICK'S SPORTS GOOD
CEO, ANNOUNCING, COMPANY WILL
IMMEDIATELY STOP SELLING ALL
ASSAULT-STYLE GUNS, AND THEY
WILL NOT SELL ANY GUNS TO PEOPLE
UNDER THE AGE OF 21.
THEY SOLD NIKOLAS CRUZ A RIFLE,
THAT IS NOT THE GUN USED IN
SHOOTING, DICK'S CONTINUES TO
SUPPORT SECOND AMENDMENT.
WITH ME NOW, CARLOS REYES, YOU
ARE A GUN OWNER, A SPOKESPERSON
FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT YOUR
REACTION?
>> DICK'SA MAKING A CALCULATED
MOVE FROM A MARKETINGS
PERSPECTIVE, IN HOPES THEY WILL
BE ABLE TO LEVERAGE ENOUGH
SUPPORT OF AMERICAN PEOPLE TO
MAKE IT A WISE BUSINESS
DECISION, I DON'T KNOW THAT IT
IS.
LIZ: COMPANIES DO HAVE FREE
SPEECH RIGHTS, LEGALLY ALLOWED
TO RESTRICT THE AGE, EVEN WHEN
STATE LAW DICTATES IT AT 18, DO
THEY HAVE A LEGAL BATTLE?
>> NOT A STRONG LEGAL BATTLE,
MORE OF A MARKETING BATTLE, A
PUBLIC RELATIONS PROBLEM LIKE
THE COMPANIES THAT THAT ARE NOW
THAT ARE BOYCOTTS NRA, PEOPLE
ARE VERY EMOTIONAL, EVERYONE IS
UPSET ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED, WE
NEED TO LOOK AT COMMON SENSE
SOLUTION.
LIZ: AND THE CAUSE, RED FLAGS
MISSED.
>> CORRECT.
LIZ: LACK OF DECENT SCHOOL
SECURITY.
HERE IS JUDGE ANDREW NAPOLITANO
SAYING THERE IS A LEGAL ISSUE AT
STAKE HERE.
>> REALLY DEPENDS ON WHERE THE
18-YEAR-OLD IS, AND WHERE DICK'S
IS LOCATED, THE TOMORROW LAW
PROB HIB
PROH HIB
PROHIBIB
PROHIBITS AGE DISCRIMINATION
DOES NOT BEGIN UNTIL 40, BUT
SOME ARE 18, IN NEW JERSEY, THIS
IS 18 UP, CAN THEY REFUSE TO
SELL A GUN TO A PERSON THEY
BELIEVE IS IMMATURE AND MIGHT
HARM THEMSELVES OR ANOTHER WITH
A GUN?
ABSOLUTELY.
WE HAVE CIVIL RIGHTS LAWS, THAT
PROHIBIT DISCRYPT NATION ON
CERTAIN BASIS LIKE RACE, AND
COLOR, CREED, AND GENDER, AND IN
NEW JERSEY, AGE.
THEY CAN'T SELL TO -- THEY CAN
SELL TO
SELL WO
SELL WHO THEY WANT BUT NOT SELL.
LIZ: A TOUGH FIGHT, THE AGE
ARGUMENT IS WORKPLACE OR LABOR
FIGHTS, RIGHT.
I AM NOT SURE, YOU WILL HAVE A
CLASS ACTION SUIT OF 18 YEARS
WHO WANT TO BUY A GUN.
>> CORRECT, THESE CASES TAKE
YEARS TO PLAY OUT, WHAT PLAYS
OUT IMMEDIATELY THAT MARKET
DICTATES EVERYTHING, MARKET,
WILLING TO DICTATE WHETHER IT
WAS A SMART MOVE FOR DICK'S?
HERE IS REACTED FROM POLICE AND
OTHERS.
LIZ: THAT GUN THAT HAS BEEN
AROUND SINCE VIETNAM WAR ERA,
THAT GUN WAS USED IN LAS VEGAS
SLAUGHTER, AND PULSE NIGHTCLUB
SHOOTING, AND SAN BERNARDINO,
AND SANDY HOOK, A WEAPON THAT
CAUSED MAXIMUM DAMAGE IN THE
BODY, THAT IS A CONTROVERSY OVER
THAT GUN.
>> THE ARGUMENT COULD BE MADE A
LOT OF DAMAGE CAN BE MADE WITH A
HANDGUN, IF YOU HAVE A HANDGUN
CLOSE RANGE, AND 10 ROUNDS NO
LIMIT ON NUMBER OF MAGAZINES, IT
TAKES TWO SECONDS TO CHANGE OUT
A MAGAZINE.
LIZ: THIS IS THEN A CLINICAL
ABSTRACT ARGUMENT.
TALKING ABOUT REAL HUMAN.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
LIZ: PEOPLE ARE SICK.
THEY DON'T WANT IT ANY MORE, FIX
IT.
>> PRESIDENT HAS MADE THIS A
NONPARTISAN ISSUE IN SOME CASES,
HE TODAY CALLED OUT THE NRA, HE
IS CALLING FOR SOLUTIONS FROM
BOTH SIDE, ASKING PEOPLE TO STEP
BACK FROM EMOTION AND IMMINENT
SOLUTIONS -- IMPLEMENT SOLUTIONS
FROM ALL SIDES, COMMON SENSE
THAT WOULD STOP THESE SLAUGHTER
SNOOTION
