You know, i understand your point very well, you are not racist, but men, i am hispanic and let me tell you something, we have a lot of differences, that is what dislike me about somethings you and other people thinks/say.
Not all hispanics are brown.
Not all brown people is hispanic.
"Looking brown" is not "looking hispanic".
This is my head, ,img217.imageshack.us... im 100% hispanic, do my skin looks brown?
My gf is blonde with blue eyes, my nephew blonde with gray eyes, most of my family is white, there are browns too but the whites are most.
So now im not hispanic? i dont look hispanic?

I just might be. Seriously, I don't listen to Alex Jones but many do. I'm just the type who likes to get to the truth of the story.
I understand very well that not all Hispanics are brown.
However, that is not what the law says.
The law says that if you suspect a person is here illegally, you cannot sell to them.
As the court CLEARLY determined in this case, that means IF A PERSON IS BROWN YOU CAN NOT SELL TO THEM.
The case was CLEARLY DECIDED ON THE COLOR OF THE MANS SKIN SINCE THIS IS THE ONLY POSSIBLE WAY THE VET COULD HAVE "SUSPECTED" THE PERSON WAS HERE ILLEGALLY.

In that case i should say that the right statement would be "don't sell to brown people (asians, native american, north african, middle eastern)" and not "don't sell to hispanics".
There is not such think as "hispanic look" becase the "hispanic race" doesn't exist.

You could have said anyone who looks illegal.

Hmmm let's see, let's stop selling something to a person based on their ethnicity?
How and in what twisted world does that make any sense?
I am not going to bother watching your alex jones nonsense, I am instead going to just reply to this idiocy.
You can't just refuse to sell to someone because of their ethnicity, that's pretty illegal and would get the proprietor of the gun store in a lot of trouble.
But this is another one of your troll threads isn't it?

Actually watching the video might expose them to something psychologists like to call "cognitive dissonance"
They think the federal government is their friend, but then find out it locks up innocent people while legislating racist laws.
Its too much for them to deal with, so they come unglued and blindly scream the R word at the top of their lungs as a reactionary response to their inner belief structure being threatened.

Yeah but brown people includes blacks, but black are OK to sell to.
So are Asians.
Its just Hispanic looking people that could land you in a federal prison.
I suppose I am a tad inconsistent in my reply, but when I say "brown", you can take that to mean "Hispanic".

That's the point, helping to show the absurdity in the law by proving it's forcing prejudice and paranoia (when it's illegal to ask for legal status as the purchaser has legal documentation) without singling out hispanics.
Like I said, less provocative, possibly less effective, but it would have brought out the inner "denied" racism of any poster who projected what "looks illegal" means to them onto your post.
Edit: Side note, I think this may be what the government actually wants. Prejudice against "hispanics" in order to further fan the flames.

Ok, i would understand that from this moment until my life ends i am brown even if im not brown because all hispanics are brown.
And btw, we the brown people don't include blacks in brown lol.

But why shouldn't I single out Hispanics?
That's what the federal government EXPLICITLY argued in the court case.
I have to base my post on the law - and the law is now clear thanks to this court case.

I only advocate following this law (not selling to Hispanics) because selling to Hispanics could land you in a federal prison for 6 months.
