    An interesting development. The gun industry is scrambling for new protections.

    People who want guns will find ways to purchase them.

    Interesting, but most of the major manufacturers are into other areas of metallurgy as well. Ruger's Prescott plant, for example makes everything from titanium golf clubs to artificial joints.

    People tempted to rejoice this should consider a precedent set where in the future, companies with power decide that they are now in a group to be denied access to crucial services.

    I think this is an abuse of a position of power and control. If some local mom-and-pop business isn't allowed to pick and chose their customers, then why should a much more powerful company be able to do so?

    What's to stop them from abusing this power for financial gain by shorting a companies stock and then driving them out of business? You think banks are too ethical?
