jfbMSNBC's Jan Herman shares reader responses to a recent item on Wal-Mart. (They've decided to stop carrying "lad magazines" like Maxim and FHM.) One reader asks, "If Wal-Mart is so concerned about promoting a ‘family-friendly’ culture, why do they sell shotguns?" Jan says, "I know Wal-Mart sells rifle gunsights. But does it really sell shotguns? I don’t believe it. Please tell me you’re wrong."
Searching Google for "wal-mart guns", I learned that they sell nail guns and Young Guns 2.
I also learned that--according to Packing.org, "a great place to find out how to legally carry a concealed weapon"--Wal-Mart "has given in to an orchestrated campaign to move its firearms counter out of sight of its toy department," at least in the "embattled Providence store". And that in September 2000, Jews For The Preservation of Firearms Ownership was alarmed by news that Wal-Mart might stop selling guns.
(JPFO's sister organization, Concerned Citizens Opposed to Police States--a stance I'm in full agreement with--provides a Totalitarian Time Clock that measures the march of the police state in the U.S. It's currently 10:48, where the ratification of the Bill of Rights signifies the "dawn of freedom", and a totalitarian police state would be midnight.)
I still don't know whether Wal-Mart sells shotguns. If they do, they're not available online.

Date: 2003-05-08 01:26 pm (UTC)Of course Wal-Mart carries guns. They carry rifles at my local one (rural Ohio), or did last time I was in the sporting goods section (which, frankly, isn't too often).
Want me to go take a picture?
