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 |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
