Thank God for Internet forums where people are free to say things they never would face to face for fear of a punch in the nose.
In exchange for letting us all know when you can contribute? No problem.
I'm not arguing the legality. A drug dealer is still a capitalist legal or not.
I wasnt under the impression that this was solely about Dalton.
CCW has it right in his first post. I'm sorry to and for everyone who gets butthurt about it. My biggest personal concern is that what we are seeing on the ODT (theoretically a place where conservative constitutionalists come to converse) is a reflection of the ever increasing conflict between the socio-economic classes in our nation. I.E. "If I don't have the money to buy what I want then no one should be able to buy it away from me and then ask for more money for it (a profit) at a later date when I might can afford what I want." We, as mostly political capitalists, tend to not place limits on the amount of goods someone can buy unless there are clear unfair business practices occurring or the danger of a monopoly, that is certainly not occurring with the flippers. The difference between our Republic as outlined by our founders in our Constitution and a marxist/socialist society is that in our Republic you have the right to pursue happiness, but it is not guaranteed; in a marxist/socialist society the government falsely tells you that you have the right to be happy and they will see to it. You have the right to out buy the flippers, but you can't ask for them to be forced to be stopped. I plead for everyone not to get duped into thinking they are guaranteed happiness.
Therefore, while flippers may offend you, they are doing nothing less than corporations who import and export goods for sale; some of those goods being firearms manufactured in foreign countries. In business, there are tons of middle men because there is profit to be made off of supply and demand. Keep in mind, middle men sometimes lose big because they over-buy, but that is the risk of business.
CCW is begging everyone to recognize these facts, calm down, and remember the foundations of our nation and what made us a superpower. Don't fall into the trap/thought processes of a liberal socialist.
I happen to agree with him.
