I don’t. They just keep cementing in more and more reasons not to.
Their “low” prices aren’t really that low anymore, haven’t been for years.
Yay! I saved a penny today!!!
Oh?
Come back when the crooks and the nuts get up to 2% of this figger; THEN we'll talk!
More than 30 gun companies now make AR-15s. Almost 8.5 million assault rifles have been either manufactured in the U.S. or imported here since the 1990s, according to the NSSF.
It’s a wonder that half the population hasn’t been murdered. /s
Read that far, and STOPPED.
If they make a stupid claim like that and still want to remain a respectable news outlet, well, NO.
That's an elitist attitude, and you are not helping the cause of freedom.
I'd trust "Walmartians" as you call them over ANY member of Congress. Yes, including the so-called "conservative" ones, who vote year in and year out to take my property with the force of a government gun.
Just another reason not to go to Walmart. We’ve had problems with our local Walmart. For one thing, many of their Chinese produced products are poorly made. Product selection is another item. They drive local businesses into bankruptcy, then fail to stock items the local store would have had. Food is another sore point as I get alarmed at the number of severely dented cans and outdated dairy items (especially yogurt). Their “fresh” produce always looks like picked over seconds. And I’ve yet to recover from the “ammo shortage” where employees failed to put merchandise on the shelf and sold it to their friends. Things are so bad that I pay more at Food Lion (also not among my favorite stores) and drive 20-50 miles for hardware items. So, go ahead and do away with a quality American made product Walmart. I’ll add it to my reasons to avoid shopping with you.
I bought a Remington 870 there once. Best price in town.
They don’t need facts. They are in the business of selling fear.
***the gun was popular with 3 generations of vets because they are used to it?***
I shot my first M-16 in 1966 USAF. Bought my first AR-15 in 1970. $200.00. Wish I still had it.
Back then, no one wanted a .223 rifle and they were a hard sell. Gun editors railed against them as being under powered, inaccurate and basically useless. Everyone wanted deer rifles.
Then Mel Tappan published his book on SURVIVAL GUNS, and wrote a survival column for GUNS AND AMMO magazine. Suddenly everyone wanted a .223 semi auto rifle!
I bought one of the first Ruger Mini-14s and soon they disappeared from the shelves. I had to sell mine to keep from starving, and later found Ruger was sending all they made then to police forces in France.
***What is a “high-powered mass shooting”?***
When Harry Tracy broke out of prison back in 1902, he was armed with one of the most lethal firearms of the day. A Winchester 1894 in 30-30. He piled up dead lawmen like cordwood till he was hit and then killed himself.
I don’t remember anyone dancing in the blood calling for a ban on the “evil” 30-30.
In 1962, Thomas J Dodd and Emanuel Cellar proposed a registration scheme for handguns ONLY as rifles were no problem. No not even the .30 Carbine or shotguns.
Then John Kennedy got killed with a bolt action rifle and screams for registration of all firearms began.
again, it is selective outrage.
I believe it was the New York Slimes that called for a ban on ALL semi-auto rifles several years ago when a man armed with an M-1 Garand fired one round and kill another. One round.
Yes, yes they are.
So what, I would never buy an AR at Walmart anyway. I get my AR’s at dedicated gun shops that know what they’re talking about. The ones that were lost in a terrible fire and boating accident that is.
If the first paragraph is any indication, this writer belongs in an asylum.
Notice, if you will, that throughout recent history, the histrionics get a warm-up phase, then the atrocities start.
Not just the relative mock atrocities of Trayvon and Brown (an excuse for the gibsmedats to loot the local stores), but the mass shootings of respectable people.
Unfortunately, the grand finale usually occurs at a crowded venue, often with children.
Remember, these Communists, Liberals, Progressives, whatever you call them are in league with the people who found no problem with eliminating what was then 10% of the American population in order to achieve their goals, and the loss of a few people in order to forcibly dominate the rest with little resistance is paltry claculus to them.
Respectable news outlet? The NYT? Since when?
