They are flagging words like "gun" and "combat". If they did the same thing applying names like "Muhammad" they would be in violation of civil rights. Even making someone with that name sign a waiver would be discrimination.

This is why vigilante justice is not the correct thing to do. If they thought WCH was a threat they should've notified the FBI. If they think someone named Muhammad is a threat they should do the same. But it is not their place to deny the sale or to run their own background checks for the good of the rest of us.

Yes, it was a simple screw up. But that screw up was caused by their fear of the words that THEY entered into their program that flags. This is the same assumptions that are pissing gun owners all around this country off, that if you own a gun you must be up to something. That simple screw up just brought their policy to light.

What will Dell think up next, because I have a FOID card or someone else has a CW permit that I/they should be banned until further checking? Don't you think that to have an FFL and run a business or to get a FOID card or to get a CWP that the person has already been checked out enough by the FBI and if anyone needs to be flagged it should be the ones who don't own legal guns because they HAVEN'T been checked out by any govt body?

If it was Remington who made the order do you think Dell would've messed up? If so did you buy Citibank's claims that they didn't do business with businesses who deal in arms yet they are willing to do business with one's that make fighter jets? It's all spin control as the others have said.
They discriminate against a small dealer/owner because it doesn't hurt them as much, well now they are going to find that 3 million+ small timers will have an effect.
