Any business within the US has every right to sell or not sell what they want. It does not matter if it is the small local mom and pop bookstore or Amazon, free enterprise allows any business of any size to sell, buy, or trade whatever they want to, without requirements or having to be FORCED to buy, sell or trade anything. Personal rights and freedoms also extend to free enterprise freedom to buy, sell or trade what you want to, no requirements.
Amazon does not have to, should not be required to, and is most definitely NOT OBLIGATED to simply because of their size.
