They NEVER, EVER give up.

So, these “investors” need to sell their stock and STHU.

That and their support for homo marriage may work really “good” for their business model. s/

Time for them to stop selling sporting rifles and
only sell “assault” rifles? Works for me.

Any way, I just don’t see them as one of the “nation’s
largest” gun sellers...

Trinity Wall Street Church in New York won a case last year by arguing that selling these guns doesn’t portray community and family values. …
A left-wing Episcopal “church” who aided and abetted Occupy Wall Street ought to have all of its cases challenged.

I havent set foot in a KMart since they buckled to Michael Moore’s anti gun arm twisting. And, countless others have done the same.

I did go to one KMart going out of business sale though.

What is this Wal-Mart of which you speak? I recall being in one as a youth decades ago.

Some companies have argued that some investors shouldn’t be in the business of telling successful companies what to do. Or they should sell their freaking stock.

I would be highly upset if Wal-Mart caves to these demands. They are located everywhere & ranchers/farmers need their supplies against varmints.

Besides-—why would I want my license number on my vehicles taken down when I am parked in the lot of a GUN store???

If a conservative doesn't like guns he doesn't buy one.

If a liberal doesn't like guns he wants all guns outlawed.

...varmints.

The proper term is “illegal aliens”.

remember the definition:

a liberal is a person who is active on behalf of people he doesn’t care about in order to control people he hates.

Have you ever looked the racial composition of the shoppers at certain stores? Have you ever considered which stores might be safer to shop in based on the customers?

Shopping in Walmart gives a center cut of American culture. Shopping for coffee at Starbucks was a niche population, and that conservation on race was going to significantly alter the atmosphere if the customer base expanded to include all the Walmart shoppers - there is a reason beyond coffee for going to starbucks, just as there's a reason for joining an exclusive spa or club with huge annual dues - you keep out the lower classes.

Driving off the gun shoppers may not be a big deal, but the entire sporting goods department of Walmart may lose customer traffic as they head out to big box sporting goods stores to buy camping gear, fishing equipment and their beloved guns.

Walmart may decide that keeping certain populations in their customer traffic is beneficial. Soon enough, the Hallmark Cards will have to drop religious holiday cards, or items more likely purchased by Christians. Next would be the American flag - although gone from the rafters along with Made in the USA, love of country driven out.

In the final phases of complete political correctness, even items deemed too Black culture, or too White, too Asian would be driven out. NO ONE WOULD BE LEFT TO SHOP, and the Liberals would all be discussing these social issues at Starbucks.
