An Oregon man filed a lawsuit on Monday against Walmart and Dick’s
Sporting Goods for “unlawful age discrimination” after he claimed both
retailers refused to sell him a rifle.
Tyler Watson alleged that he attempted to purchase the weapon at Field
and Stream, a store owned by Dick’s Sporting Goods on Feb. 24 and the
20-year-old made another attempt to purchase the weapon at a Walmart
store on March 3.
This was only days before Dick’s Sporting Goods announced on Feb. 28, it
would end the sale of all assault-style rifles and high capacity
magazines -- in addition to raising the gun purchase age limit to 21
years old.
