Dell

If you decide to buy a PC from Dell, make sure you or your business aren't on their "watch" list. It appears that they don't want business from undesirable elements, like gunmakers or companies with "foreign" names. As an example take this case : Dell refused to sell Jack Weigand, owner of Weigand Combat Firearms, a new laptop and didn't even bother to tell him about it until he called to find out where it was. Dell's reasoning: "We have to apply export restrictions to domestic sales". Excuse me? It's news to me. Dell also seemed to think that the "strange" name of the company meant it might have links to terrorism. Yeah, right. Some idiot just decided not to allow the sale to go through because it was to a gun maker. I'm pretty sure that sort of thing is discriminatory.

Since when is it against the rules to sell a PC to a domestic business? Mr. Weigand has a right to make and sell his custom handguns, even if some people don't like them, and Dell shouldn't tell him that he isn't someone they want to do business with, unless he does something immoral or illegal. Period.

Note that I am not taking sides in the gun control issue here, just complaining about a big corporation making arbitrary decisions that affect individual rights.
