Singer Cher has called on her fans to boycott a major retailer over its gun sales following the Connecticut elementary school shooting last week.
The Second Amendment has been called into question following the killings of 20 children and six adults by suspected gunman Adam Lanza at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Politicians are now calling for an overhaul of firearm laws to make it harder for people to buy semi-automatic assault weapons, but sales of guns have risen dramatically since the tragedy, with leading retailer Walmart reportedly running out of stock in five states.
Now singer and Democratic Party supporter Cher has urged her Twitter.com followers not to shop at the store over its policy to continue selling firearms in the wake of the school massacre.
In a series of posts, she writes, "Everyone Should Boycott Wall Mart (sic)! They R (sic) Biggest Seller Of Guns In U.s ! Pick Up Milk, pick Up Bullets. Shop (rival retailer) Target...

Boycotts don’t work. Why people don’t realize that.

You are right.
I have been boycotting Cher, J Fonda, B Streisand etal for years and every so often ‘they’ drag their carcasses out for another round of stupid saying and actions.
I never did get to boycott M Moore cause he was NEVER one that I ‘enjoyed’, followed or paid attention to.
Well, in her defense, she does somehow seem to know my usual shopping list.
Hey cher, shut up and sing. Oh wait. You can’t sing anyway so just shut up.
Yeh Cher thats where all gun afficiandos go to get a high grade weapon. :)
True. The good thing is that no one will listen to her.
WalMart should boycott anything by Cher, post-Sonny, that is.
Who?
Just got back from Walmart where I had intended to buy some ammo. Also wanted to check and see if they were still selling AR type or Ruger Mini-14’s.
Asked the dope behind the counter if they had sold out and he replied that they had pulled them from stock because “They’re the type that killed those kids, why do you want one?”
I called him a dickhead and walked out.
Walmart has caved!!
You live in New York, what did you expect? If a Wal-Mart associate had pulled that on me here in Denton, Texas he’d be on the unemployment line 10 minutes later with a boot print on his hindquarters.
I used to read about all sorts of social intimidation and coercion in the Soviet Union. The anti-gun hysteria during the past week has been a real eye opener. We fought the cold war for nothing — communism is here now.
