$300K of Walmart is a drop in the bucket.

They probably make more than that every day from ammo and gun sales.

Trinity’s proposal would require Walmart’s board to oversee the sale of “products that especially endanger public safety and well-being...

Like swimming pools, beer, wine, tobacco, boxed macaroni & cheese, peanut butter, etc.

Let us not forget that this is an Episcopal “Church”. These folks also support abortion and a host of other self-serving social causes...

Luke 22:36 Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.

I wonder who is paying for this litigation? If that church is receiving money for the purpose of filing lawsuits, it is a good question as to whether that is permitted under their tax exemption.

The solution is simple. Walmart don’t need their stinking money. Give it back to them, tell them to take a long hike off a short pier and don’t come back. They obviously have a lot of problems with the Bill of Rights.

This bunch of exploters for money in the name of Christ that have NO CHANCE!! Its a publicity stunt to bilk idiots out of money. Statutory law is clear on this and the case will be thrown out. Buy guns!! LOTS OF GUNS. ( and ammo) you will need them to save your family from sunni wahhabie that the criminal has let into our beloved county. Keep shooting until they are dead.
