Walmart just announced that it's stepping back from gun sales and ammo sales. The story just broke but from what I heard they will no longer sell the 'assault-style' weapons and large ammo clips.

I've never bought any guns or ammo at Walmart. In fact I never knew they sold them. I never seen any on display in any of the Walmart's I have gone too and there has been a bunch. I suppose the sale of guns may be a store thing or even what state they're in or I just never noticed as I never did any gun or ammo shopping there.

In fact, Walmart, Targets, stores of their variety is some place I wouldn't have never thought of looking or finding guns and ammo. The fact they sell or sold them, is news to me. I wonder how many others are in the same boat as I, not knowing Walmart sold guns and ammo?

I highly doubt one store chain is going to make one iota of a difference. You learn something new everyday, Walmart selling guns and ammo, how about that.

See even in the link I showed it mentions all that, yes 1.5 mil may be a high estimate, they also did a study in 2018 that said other estimates of 116,000 was way to low. this kills your idea that 99 out of 100 that use a gun in the home is used for suicide or murder.

Guns only make you less safe if you use them incorrectly, or you are a complete idiot.

We had an intruder violently break into our home one evening. After he kicked my door in we met each other face to face in my living room. I estimate the young man was 10' away. I held him at gunpoint. He made an abrupt move (turns out for the door) and I fired (2) rounds over his bow. I had him dead to right and could of ended his life lawfully, right then and there. He was unarmed, and did not come at me, or he would of been dead

So what would have happened that evening had I not had a gun? At my age, not sure I could have handled the dude as I suspect he was high on meth. After kicking my ass, my wife would have been left defenseless.

This matter with WalMart proved the REAL goal of the Democratic Party is a 100% ban on all firearm sales - no exceptions of any kind.

WalMart does not sell any handguns. WalMart does not sell any gun that anti 2Aers call "an assault rifle." Yet we heard Elizabeth Warren call for ending 100% of ALL guns sales. Not ONE Democratic candidate or official criticized this.

Never believe the goal is compromise. The goal of the Democratic Party, ie super rich of the world in control, want all Americans 100% disarmed and defenseless. In the stance of the Democratic Party, you must have a legal duty to allow your family and yourself to be robbed, assaulted, kidnapped, tortured, raped and murdered without poising any risk of harming the attacker. The Democratic Party is 100% on the side of violent criminals and want to empower and protect violent criminals every way possible.

You violated a core ethics of the Democratic Party. In their ethics, you had a moral obligation to allow yourself and your wife to be robbed, assaulted, raped and murdered.

It is the Democratic Party that wants to advertise for mass shooters, promising to protect them with gun free zone signs - demanding no one be able to stop mass shooters.

No its the Democratic party that wants mass shootings to keep going, they like nothing more. They rejoice whenever a mass shooting occurs, they use it to promote their cause for more gun control.

This is a great example of why we dont need govt to control guns. Free markets always work better at achieving a popular result. This wont do anything but make people feel better and increase profits for Walmart, which is no problem for me. I buy my ammo and guns from quality stores.

My state is completely run by the gop....and schools are a gun free zone.


But but but how is that possible?

You guys are so hypocritical on these issues. You say if something is disagreeable, companies, the public, etc, will step up to fix it, and that we don't need government overreach to do it for us.

The second it begins happening, you bitch and whine.

Well, which way is it?

Seems to me you lot only want it your way, how you feel at the moment.

**** your feelings.

Actually i have been consistent for the many years I have been on this board. I also understand that real libertarians don't have much use for stupid government laws

I have found that many "leftwing libertarians" tend to be libertarians in say areas like drug use or gay rights, but are often big government socialists or SJWs on most other areas.

I have found I don't particularly give a damn about what you "claim."

I simply want to point out your hypocrisy.

As for left wing libertarianism, you don't have a clue what it is or what it means. Go on, look it up on Wiki. Astound us all with your newfound knowledge.

I support the right to keep and bear arms. I do not support the "right" of mentally ill, dangerous clowns on psychotics, to keep and bear arms.

I support freedom of speech.

I support freedom to marry whom you want, when you want (not where you want, I support a church's refusal to marry those outside the confines of faith.)

I support free markets, with the exception of healthcare, and I do not recognize ownership of natural resources (Which I view as the property of the public at large.)

I support freedom to practice any religion, and reject all claims of any religion as dominant over the others; furthermore, I respect no law that is based or founded on any religion.

I fully embrace and support the right to associate; for businesses, and customers. SOLE exception being religious based discrimination. Using a fake, imaginary friend to scapegoat is cowardly.

I reject any bans on consumables, like cannabis, flavored E-juice.

I support regulated legal prostitution, for both men and women.

Shall I continue? I mean, there is not much between us; save your worship of filth like Mises and other European Bourgeois like von Hayek. I dislike authoritarians.
