Walmart took a bold step earlier this week when it announced it would no longer sell assault-style rifles in its U.S. stores. It was the right move in spite of the potential backlash the company could face from gun rights advocates. As the country's largest retailer of guns and ammunition, Walmart's decision should result in fewer rifles on the streets and in the hands of irresponsible gun owners.
Walmart said on Wednesday that it would stop selling modern sporting rifles, the high-powered weapons that are similar to the AR-15 assault rifles that have been used in several mass shootings in recent years. |

The editorial board is so fulla cacadoody its collective eyes are brown.
The article reports the management's reason for the move was entirely business-related (i.e. their inventory wasn't moving), then pats Walmart on the back for taking a stand on "social justice" when it did no such thing.
Anybody know why progressives are so STOOPID? |

Actually, these guns are such a microscopic percentage of Walmart's sales that the revenue wasn't worth the distraction.
Who cares if Walmart quit selling semi-automatic guns? There are plenty of other dealers with better selection and better prices. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy ... censorship. When any government, or any church, for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything. You cannot conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." --Robert A. Heinlein, "Revolt in 2100" (Pg. 68-69, Baen Books paperback edition, 1999 printing) |
