Some on here argue just for the sake of it.

Just putting it out there Gunworks also sight FAL when selling powder, probably same reason as GC, doesn't concern me in the least.
I will buy from who ever or where ever I can get the product I need, sadly in the current climate you cannot pick and choose where you buy from to support your favorite retailer.
As far as screwing people over, I've seen far more private sellers "screwing over" other shooters than any retailers.
In fact I can only recall one recent retailer that I perceived to be gouging and that's only my perception there may well be a genuine and legitimate reason for the $100 per tray magnum primers. So guess what ? I ain't gonna get all bent outta shape about that either, I just won't buy them.

Hmmmm sort of the same argument that police must follow the letter of the law not whatever interpretation they see fit???

Not too sure what point you're trying to make there sorry mate.

Best way I can think of it is Countdown not selling energy drinks to under 16s. There's nothing in legislation making it illegal to sell energy drinks to people under 16 but Countdown, well Woolworths now I guess haha, has decided that they won't sell to under 16s.
This isn't impinging on anyone's rights because as a retailer in NZ, Woolworths is allowed to refuse service for any reason as long as it's not discriminatory against race, gender, religion, disability and a few other factors. Those under 16s that get really pissed off at this can just go to another retailer that will sell to them.

Where I buy my powder asks to see my license. So GC and Gunworks aren't on their own.

Probably we couldn't be so lucky . . . But it's OK to live in hope!
