That usually stands, but Travis T isnt that ignorant. He simply enjoys starting the occasional gun thread to get us "guntards" all worked up.

He's trolling.

I can't say I'm normally a fan of Walmart. I'm pro-union, Walmart believes in union-busting. I don't like the proliferation of made-in-China stuff produced at least partly with slave labor. That's virtually Walmart's entire business model. I don't like HFCS. Walmart has shelves full of snacks and drinks loaded with HFCS.

I can say that I am a big fan of their recent decision to stop selling short barrel ammunitions:



I wish they would have simply destroyed existing stock, but I understand that they have shareholders to answer to. What do you think?
I think this is just another disguised troll thread that will endure like many of your others.

We need better background checks.
Walmart's half-hearted gun and ammo business has varied greatly in different regions. In Gaithersburg, Maryland, it's practically nonexistent.

In Greenville, SC, the gun department is manned with full-time knowledgeable people with a good selection of everything.

In Fairfax, VA, there is basic ammo, but you have to ask a passing employee if someone can help with ammo.
Then after a few minutes someone in electronics comes over and calls the guy that has the keys to the ammo cabinet.
He then cautiously opens the particular glass slide where the ammo you want is stored. He hasn't any idea what he is retrieving.

So Walmart has been inconsistent with their gun and ammo sales nationwide. Most will not care about their pacifist policies.

I buy from local Cabela's or online. I support local suppliers when possible.

I don't have a problem with background checks per se. Most of my weapons required checks, except the ones that didn't.

I'm seeing more pro 2nd Amendment people "okay with backround checks"

I think ultimately the right to own a gun is going to disappear by way of the backround check and red flag law. Why do I think this? Because they're doing it now, and you've shown them you're okay with it.
The hangmen in DC just need to keep tightening the noose a little tighter. All the while you'll nod your heads in agreement, just like you did with Trumps bump stock ban and right up until they deny you that bird gun or that .22 for your grandkid because of that speeding ticket 5 years ago.
I was recently refused a gun purchase thanks to a NICS check. No reason for the denial was offered and if you ask you'll not get one. Sound reasonable? Gun store clerk says; "happens all the time, its an imperfect automated system" and slides an appeal form over for me to sign. I couldnt help but see the irony in having a framed copy of the constitution hanging on the wall just above the counter while being denied my "2nd amendment right"
The NICS appeal was successful and again no reason given for the reversal. The whole process took just under a month. Sound reasonable?
They're going to pick you off one at a time,and you wont see it coming until its too late. Maybe it already is.
Yeah I know you're the NRA, but you're also naive fools.

Post of the year.

This applies in many other subjects, as well. It's why I call some people "cucks".

Frog + pot + water = "Oh, okay, that sounds reasonable...sure, I'll go along with that." Also = 30 years later: "What happened?!"

Wal mart or any corporation deciding they no longer wish to sell guns is NOT an infringement of second amendment rights, period.

No company or business can be forced to sell something they don't wish to.

A few years back, I went through the check and the info did not come back within 3 days, so they sold me the gun anyway as the law says. The guy at the store said that anyone who had ever been printed before was being delayed. Mine was my military prints 50 years ago. The next time, it went right through.

Except for insurance companies, right?
