Walmart follows Dicks sporting goods......

When people say the free market does not work, I call bullshit. Dicks Sporting Goods and Delta airlines have stood up to the firearm industry. And now Walmart has been the next to do the right thing.

It is. But it is sad it has taken this long. Shit like this should have happened after Brady and Reagan getting shot. It should have happened after Columbine. It most certainly should have happened after Newtown.
But still, times are changing as they should. I simply wish the needlessly fearful right would stop buying the fear and get on board.

Fuck em , they had shit for guns and ammo anyway.

I was actually thinking more about asking people not to bring guns into the stores.

Or the sales. There are more firearms in America than humans. We don't need a more flooded market.

Yeah, just because you CAN do something, doesn't mean you SHOULD. Observe these idiots:

I followed an armed man around Walmart with a double-bitted axe back in '08. When he realized what I was doing he left.
