Seriously, why are you even in this thread except to troll? You offer no informative value to this thread. Like others, what is your problem with any person seeking perfect legal means of resolving issues they have with others?

The fact you keep posting like Sp33Demon the same tiresome argument without any merits really shows how deranged your mental capacity is. Perhaps you should seek co-counseling with him. Might go a long way to bettering your health. You might actually be able to make friends in real life instead wasting so much time pretending you know what you are talking about on a message board.

I'm being quite serious in that you really should spend some time reexamining your life and wondering why you would spend such an exorbitant amount of your time just trolling threads such as mine all day.

oooh mr big shot telling people what to do with their time during the day and he now knows about my personal life too!

i'm just glad that you are wasting your time with this thread because it has been a great source of entertainment, which is why i read these forums.

as many other posters have already stated - this thread delivers! in a jersey-shore trainwreck kind of way.

If the legal term was called something else I would use that term. I do not have to put in a mental hospital or put under psychological supervision to claim and prove a mental anguish clause. I also have stated many times that I will go for the MAX I can if I am forced to seek litigation as my last recourse. That still has not changed, nor my stance on it despite what all the namby pamby whiners think about my possible course of action.

Oh look you're still here. Trolls never leave if you keep feeding them I guess even if you try to talk sense into them. Have you found any actual useful information to contribute yet to this thread? Or are you secretly just getting off while reading this? Do you tell your psychiatrist that you stroke yourself under your desk at work while making posts like this to threads like mine? Or do you leave that for confessional?

if you link me to the rulebook for posting on ATOT that states i must post "actual useful information" (which is subjective in it's own right) in order to post in a thread then i will gladly stop posting.

i'm hanging around though to see if you will actually post to tell us the story of you getting laughed out of the court room. i'm 99.9% sure you wouldn't though.

So certain are you? I'm certain that chances are I won't have to see a courtroom. Know why? I know companies don't actually like to go into a courtroom. They prefer to settle well in advance. As for the case if I have to go to court over it, I'm not going to lose. I've already posted actual information links as to why. You know things that that point to laws and case examples and such. Things no one has been able to post anything back that refute those links I've posted thus far.

I'm fairly certain the outcome of my future experiences with Dicks will result in them either giving me the firearm I already purchased for the agreed upon price, or giving me the difference of price to get the same item from a different retailer when it becomes available. Chances of me actually having to step foot in a courtroom over this issue are slim. But go ahead and keep thinking I'll be laughed right on out and that I won't have things go my way. If that is what makes you sleep well at night while you dream of trolling and touching little boy penises then more power to you I guess.

Humble, you are a sick dude.

You are still here? I had to make that assumption because it seems the only purpose the both of you have around here is to troll. I figured that you both saw the word Dick in the title and drew the both of you like flies to shit. So my only assumption is that is how you sleep at night and get your jollies. I would say you go after it in real life but since you can only insult other people with a meme generator without them having insulted you first I also must assume you don't have the balls to carry out your sick and twisted fantasies.

Humble don't let these douches draw you in, pay them no mind just post updates on your efforts.

 

[Phoenix86]

I said it was a gift to my family. I stated they, like myself are accustomed more to rifles. I can also teach other family members on a rifle easier as I have prior knowledge of them. So how again does my admission of that ruin the possible claim basis?

Oh and my question you just answered was rhetorical. I knew what you were going to say in an answer because you thought you caught me in a "gotcha haha!" moment or something like that. I assure you that you did not. Just because I can use the firearm as well, doesn't mean it is any less of a gift to my family members.

Find a court case where a Christmas gift wasn't delivered and mental anguish was awarded then. The comparison to the wedding dress isn't the same thing. Further add in that this was as much as gift to you as it was for your family and it weakens the claim even more in my eyes.

I'm fairly certain wedding dress cases are given more weight because the are "once in a lifetime" type events.

Stop replying to reasonable posts the way you are. I didn't post a GOTCHA comment as much as I was weighing your argument. You need to learn to differentiate the two.

The once in a lifetime event is because there a possibility of a ban on that type of weapon as there was once before. Hence the similarity claim to the possible once in a lifetime claim to a wedding. Or are you trying to say a person can not assign as much emotional emphasis to once in a lifetime gift giving scenario as a wedding? I would like to see how you could counter argue that.

OK, done.

 

[HumblePie]

OK, done.

And you asked me to point out a similarity and I had done so. The fact is, weddings are considered once in a lifetime either, just not your every day occurrence. Neither would the purchase of a firearm as a holiday gift be an every day occurrence for me either. Especially since it was the first firearm I have ever purchased.

[Phoenix86]

I don't think it's reasonable to relate a wedding to a Christmas gift. The fact it's your first gun is also moot. You can buy another, but you can't recreate a wedding so this comparison fails. If you were handed the gun right now you'd have nearly as much satification as if you got it on Christmas. If you got a wedding gown 3 months after the wedding, no so much.

I didn't ask for a similarity at all, so we're back to show a case where a christmas gift wasn't delivered that was awarded mental anguish.

There isn't an exact case I can link to immediately. Just similarities as well as the possibility of a ban making this a limited chance of owning/gifting this product. That's the part where you present similarities and argue the case in court. The judge either agrees with the argument or not.

 

[Phoenix86]

You just came full circle to the possibility argument which I already answered. If a ban is enacted you have a stronger case, current it's extremely thin.

As you said, this will never make it to a judge/jury.

Exactly, which is why arguing over it is fruitless. If it comes down to me actually having to file a court litigation case over this, then I'll discuss everything with my lawyer we need to go for in the litigation. To a degree I appreciate you trying to play devil's advocate here by offering counter insight to my possibility of such a legal claim. However, the point is relatively moot. With pressure from many sides now on Dicks, which include their supplier, customers, BBB, media, and possibly the FTC I doubt any major court case arises from this at all. Unless you don't agree on that claim I just made.

 

[Phoenix86]

Then stop arguing the mental anguish position, you're still pushing it.

I think you have a much stronger case on the failure to deliver argument.

One thing I noticed about Troy's statements that doesn't add up. They said they cannot provide the guns at that price to DSG's customers, even through another outlet because it was a volume discount. OK, but they also said they had the order filled and DSG refused delivery. If the weapons are available and the sales already made, they should be able to do something there. Find another outlet, sell the guns already produced to that outlet (same volume since sales are already in pocket), problem solved.

I'm not arguing it. I'm answering questions about it. Quite the difference. People ask why I think I have a claim to it and thus I answer. It's really about giving out information when requested.

As for the disconnect you got from Troy's info, I believe I have some possible insight. From a leaked source supposedly from dicks that was posted on on ar15.com was that Dick's never intended to fulfill the back orders. It was an intentional bait and switch tactic. They are using the Sandy Hook shooting as a smoke screen when they were going to use bad supply lines as a smoke screen before that. So they are trying to use both. I can't not comment to the voracity of that claim, but it makes a bit of sense.

 

[Phoenix86]

That doesn't answer why Troy can't provide the guns already and sold to DSG at volume discount to another provider for the same price so they can fulfill DSG's sales.

edit: unless you are suggesting DSG's price was below what Troy was selling them to DSG in the first place... I guess that makes a little sense.

 

[dabuddha]

I guess I should have sued the living crap out of groupon for breach of contract, mental anguish, and sand in vaginitis when they cancelled my order for the buckyballs. Oh wait, I'm not a moron

 

[FiLeZz]

I can sell you my newlly bought colt le6920

$5k or no deal hit me up when Dicks pays up..


Sorry to hear about your bad luck.. as you know all the ar-15's are gone or gone way up..

Now it's heating up a bit more..

http://dfw.cbslocal.com/2012/12/27/...mplain-about-guns-paid-for-but-not-delivered/

local cbs stations to areas picking up the news story. Several articles already floating around that are from sources like military times and guns.com but those aren't nearly mainstream. When the cbs, abc, nbc, and fox affiliates start carrying the story more, things will change. This is a start of the heat on DSG.
