CHESAPEAKE, VA—In response to the deadly shooting at a Parkland, FL high school earlier this month, Dollar Tree officials announced Thursday that the discount variety store will no longer sell assault weapons. “Under no circumstances should a teenager be able to walk into a Dollar Tree, purchase a Basic Brands ValuPak aluminum foil rifle for one dollar, and shoot up a school with it,” said CEO Gary Philbin, adding that other items to be removed effective immediately from shelves in all 13,600 locations include Good Sense clear plastic bump stocks, RitePrice high-capacity magazines, and the entire Essential Products line of disposable flash suppressors. “We are determined to provide customers with the best value around, but in light of this terrible tragedy, we cannot in good conscience continue to offer deals like Home Bargain’s three-for-one semi-automatic shotgun bundle or our 6.8 mm Remington SPC bargain bins.” While military-style rifles will no longer be available from Dollar Tree, Philbin reassured customers the store will, of course, continue to offer a wide selection of discount handguns after enforcing a 21-and-over age restriction.

Still waiting for LuluLemon, Whole Foods, Olive Garden, etc. When will pit bulls and girl scouts stop selling assault weapons? I bought a high capacity assault veggie burger after yoga class this evening and vaporized it.

1. I saw a serious listing that included Kroger. We don't have any around here, but isn't that a

grocery chain? ..... maybe they have changed over the years ...
...any drive thru gun order places ? Seems so possible in Merica '18

2. Kroger is the parent company, Fred Meyer stores raised age to 21

3. Thanks. It sounded bizarre that you could pick up an AR 15 with lettuce and milk but not

quite impossible these days in USA

4. If you put more than a twenty

In the red kettle at Christmas they give you a gun.

6. 50 and they throw in high capacity mags, ''tis the season to be jolly.

5. 700 rounds a minute is the sad truth. Though changing mags will lower that a bit.

Not a toy sold as a toy is false advertising. Isn't that still a thing?

The Onion is more insightful here than the more mainstream media pieces I've read.
