Why Wal-Mart still sells guns?

Do you think that gun control is dead?
Regrets? Gun show loop hole? Our society wants them? It's all propaganda! Urban suburban nonsense!

    Haven't heard anyone claim that gun control efforts are dead, that always comes back around. It's cyclic, like the weather.

    Walmart will do what makes them money. They study the data, make the calculations, create complex mathematical models of populations and the buying habits of demographically defined groups. Then they stock what will sell and what will least likely bite them in the *.

    True of eggs, socks, brooms, frozen pizza, the magazines on the racks, the toys on the shelves.

    PROFIT - Nothing else much matters to Walmart.


    Of course Walmart doesn't want guns sold at gun shows. They don't want them sold in gun shops either.

    THEY WANT EVERYTHING TO BE SOLD BY WALMART!

    Wal mart sells guns because when they took them out sales of food clothing plummeted as guys wanted their wives to shop where they could get everything in 1 place. Also fishing sales dropped off so bad they realized that guns was the business not fishing supporting guns.

    if guns or any item earns them one more dollar walmart will do it. Although Walmart still will only so far i.e porn and explicit CDs. But right now the gun growd makes them more money in selling in the overal equation then the bad press does for selling them.

    I was in a WM in a small town in NW Louisiana last week, and they were stocking a brand new long gun display. I asked the clerk about it, and he told me they had never sold guns before, but they would be the ONLY gun store in town. Seems to me to be a profit-driven decision.

    And The accountants and lawyers dodge all the taxes they can on the backs of the common people.

    I could care less about the politicians who are bought off to let it happen along with derivatives they (Banksters) write to float all the monopoly money! There's trillions on both sides of this equation to make us all serfs.

    The derivatives along with Tax evasion may be legal but it's an injustice to humanity believe it or not.
