Indeed they can, but there is a different between expression and force. Some people would have them bend over and do what they are told to do. The best worlds are the ones where people and companies have freedom of expression, as long as it's not at the expense of someone elses.

 

Taking away Targets right to choose would be wrong. By them doing this, they have harmed no one. The other expression, however, is stating that target should be controlled. That is wrong.

That sounds exactly like what they did do...

Massive, successful corporations will choose how they see fit to choose. Just like some stores outright refuse to sell any video games. I stick by saying that what they did took nothing away from anyone. Making a big deal out of this will only heighten the issue on a wider scale. There is another store that sells it up the street, probably for cheaper. However, telling them to put it back on the shelf, that would be imposing. It's a free market, as I said. If people have issue with Target over it, they can shop elsewhere. I'm not sure what complaining about it is going to do.

If Walmart refuse to sell fluffy handcuffs or dildo's, then that's their choice. You can't go in and force them to put it on their shelf. But if they are selling a dildo and someone gets offended, it's their choice whether they should take it off the shelf. It's not like they are preventing anyone from buying the item elsewhere.
