Rifles should not be sold at Walmart

Being a snowflake has nothing to do with race. But we have an entire generation (millennials) who have been indoctrinated by cultural-marxist in political correctness that they live in a black and white world. Basically they can't handle the real world. Millennials expect a trophy for just getting out of bed in the morning.

If you are a millennial it's very likely you are a snowflake and very likely a liberal or even worse a progressive. You are offended by words and things you don't understand are scary and you run for your "safe zone" to hide.

Walmart isn't a safe zone, the patrons are more scary looking than any black AR rifle.


MILLENNIALS. STOP BEING OFFENDED BY, LIKE, LITERALLY EVERYTHING

Millennials. You are fast becoming Generation Snowflake: a collective that quivers at the slightest breeze and dissolves at the slightest upset. Sort yourselves out.

Millennials are a generation defined by the words like “check your privilege”, “feminist”, “consent”, “safe space”, “gender norms” and “trigger warnings”. These words are like a set of tediously clichéd buzz-words – circulated, probably by (*)(*)(*)(*)ry Living (the "Oxford-based feminist zone"), on "Generation Snowflake" letter-headed paper with a Post-It stuck to it that says “use in case of debate.” I.e. use if you want to shutdown any debate within seconds.

And it seems 2016 has reached new heights of absurd millennial fragility. A year in which the word millennial has become a buzz-word in itself: “that’s so millennial”, “how do we appeal to the millennials?”, “our millennial readers”. It’s like they’re a new alien species. This year, millennials have really taken to being offended. They love it – it’s the new millennial #trend...

I would bet you have numerous gangs selling narcotics in your nearby urban hell-hole and killing dozens in turf wars. What kind of people would allow violent street gangs to operate in their cities selling highly addictive narcotics that destroy lives??? The same people that complain about guns being sold in Wal-Mart.

 

But you can't say what. In short your post is pure bigotry.

 

Welcome to freedom.
Don't like it? You;re free to leave - I understand the department stores in Cuba don't sell guns.

 

You make a good point.
Sometimes people are too poor to exercise their rights.
Clearly, we need a government assistance program for people too poor to exercise their right to arms.
Nice idea. Thank you .

 

It does not put a damper on freedom to take guns out of stores like Walmart. You can find other ways to protect yourself than rifles. Have a little adventure. RIP Gun Ownership.

"Red Flags" being guns becoming too accessible, to anyone and everyone who wants them.

 

What is a "red flag" and no not anyone can legally buy a gun. In fact over half of all gun murders are comitted by convicted felons who couldn't legally buy a gun.

 

You deliberately miss the point.
The are for sale because WM is free to sell them and people are free to buy them.
You don't like the fact WM sells guns? Your entire recourse is to not go there - no one will notice, or care.

 

How about the incidence of a child gaining access to a gun, and misfiring it, killing his mother, or his brother/sister? That incidence is low, yes, but it makes up a small part of the total gun fatalities. Send guns in the way of the dodo bird, in terms of production and circulation, and sh*t, and you will ultimately reduce gun violence. Not violence in itself, but gun violence.

 

You should be very glad that guns are sold at stores like Walmart. The guns that can be easily obtained from other sources are far more dangerous.

But I suspect you know that. Don't you.

 

I didn't miss the point at all. Pro-gunners say it will diminish the meaning of being a American citizen not to have a gun, no it won't. Given the profits Walmart makes on a annual basis, I heavily doubt Walmart, nor its customer base, would be affected, let alone alienated, by the removal of something as simple as a BB gun. As you ended your response with, no one will notice, or care.

 

The kind of people who run those hell-holes, and profit from human misery are apparently very afraid of guns in the hands of the common people.

 

There is absolutely nothing wrong with Walmart selling guns. Why don't you go shooting one day? Try it out and see what you think. Once you realize that firearms are not this big scary boogieman you'll see just how benign it is for a company like Walmart to sell them. Hell there's an Ace Hardware on the coast over here that sells guns. It's not a big deal. You still go through all the background checks and such, so one's getting around some sort of law, it's just a company providing a product that customers want.

 

No one, especially, WM, cares if you do not like the fact they sell guns there; the fact that you do not like it is meaningless.

 

Wait, what are you railing about? Is it firearms sales or BB gun sales? I still haven't heard any reason, other than your views on what you feel are typical Wal-Mart customers, as to why guns shouldn't be sold in Wal-Mart. I mean, they fit the liberal rules on gun selling--first, they havent' sold handguns in years; second, they go by Bloomberg's Ten rules of gun selling; third, they don't sell "assault type weapons" any more (stopped about a year ago). They are FFL dealers, and use the background check system, and they use it more strictly than the law requires. What else do you want?

 

About 5 years ago, Walmart had phased out gun sales in many stores--they had gone down to about 1/3 of all stores. They started back because they were not making as much money. They have been adding gun sales back to more stores, and plan to sell guns in about half of their stores.

So your beef has nothing to do with Wal-Mart. It's simply a starting point for the ultimate gun ban that you want. You are hoping to trade in the bigotry that snobby white people feel for people who shop at Walmart. You entire OP is a disingenuous farce intended to play on bigotry.

Of course I saw that immediately as did most everyone else. You are not half as clever as you think you are and others are half as dumb as you think they are. At the end of the day I hate to break it to you but all those A ms you got in school don't mean anything anymore because teachers give As to everyone regardless of the 1uality of their work. This helps fuel the inflated ego in most melenials as they think their fake grades are proof of their superiority.

 

Your reasons for not selling at Walmart include "these type of people" and the guns are accessible because they're only in a locked case.

First, specify "types of people." Criminals? Do you have any supporting data to connect these guns to crimes?

Second, have their been any Walmart gun thefts reported? How many?

 

why not, you should be able to buy them at amazon.com imo, same with smokes and beer.. and big gulps if you want them

Walmart has more camera's then fort Knox, you commit a crime there, your busted

.

 

Windigo had it right - this has nothing to do with Walmart and everything to do with gun grabbing elitist who thinks only the wealthy should have guns.

 

Such nonsense.
Why do you think it matters if he gets the gun at WM or the Bass Pro next door?

 

I know, I know !!!

A red flag when on the rifle range is called "Maggie's drawers." It is waved when a shooter completely misses the target.

 

I don't think they use that any more.
They hang the large scoring disc, top dead center.

 

They use the scoring disk when the target is hit.

If one hits the black #5 ring (bulls eye) a white disk is placed in the bullet hole and the target is raised.

Hitting the white #4, #3, #2 rings a black disk is inserted in the bullet hole.

If a shooter completely misses the target, there's no bullet hole to insert a disk in so a red flag (Maggie's dwars) is waved.

The above is for the KD range (Known Distance Range) which only the U.S. Marine Corps uses. The U.S. Army stopped teaching known distance rifle marksmanship back during the late 1950's or early 60's.

The old KD ranges are suppose to be replaced with electronic ranges in the near future that would eliminate troops from pulling targets in the "butts." It's suppose to also eliminate cheating taking place in the butts.

To the best of my knowledge there's only one electronic KD range on the west coast in the Marine Corps, it's the MCAS Miramar rifle range.

Now most combat target ranges use electronic scoring. There's no bulls eyes or scoring rings, you either hit the target or you don't. They had electronic combat rifle ranges back during the 1960's.

 

Wal Mart has their own liquor stores now. It is a little too late to try and reign in a juggernaut like that. Perhaps Hillary should have stopped them when she sat on their board but no one will address that I am sure. Just like why didn't Hillary help the low wage workers at Wal Mart? Oh yeah, because she does not give a crap.
