Walmart announces gun crackdown

Why?

 

Walmart may not be the lowest anymore since I think retreating from guns and ammo right now

 

They were price gouging during recent gun and ammo rushes. They shut down their McKinney store and maybe Ft Worth. I think they are internet only because so many customers have left.

 

I go to Academy and stock up on Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and Independence Day. They have 10% discounts for veterans and already good prices and selection. Sometimes packaged in bulk in cans. I can get 500 rounds of Winchester white box 9mm for $100 in an ammo can before discounts. Walmart has never touched that.

If I ever finish my AR, I need to start reloading.

 

When magazines were first targeted by the gun grabbers, CTD raised their price on 30 rd mags to $100 dollars. Each.

Price gouging is never ok.

 

No, you support dogs killing people.

 

Eh sounds like supply and demand to me

 

My husband (who has guns and is pro 2nd amendment) said Walmart never should have been selling guns or ammo in the first place, because their help knew nothing about them. These folks might have been working in housewares yesterday. He figures someone selling those items ought to be informed about them.

Does anyone think someone who intends to shoot people is going to leave their gun at home because "Walmart requests it"? What a load of nonsense.

 

I support dogs killing bad guys while committing crimes, they are not "people".

 

You would hardly be ok with someone going to Flint and selling bottles of water to the citizens for $100 a bottle. It's sad to think that taking advantage of those who have little resources during times of dire need for no other reason than to increase your profit margin needs to be defined as "wrong" or "immoral", but then again I don't believe for a second that you didn't already know that.

That's right, and they found out there is a price for gouging. When it comes to the Free Market your reputation accounts for a lot, CTD just about ruined theirs.

Of course it being a free country, you are certainly free to spend your money with them, and I'll just sit here and watch you buy a $100 bottle of water.

 

So you would set a dog onto an 80 year old who was shoplifting in Walmart; or do you have specifics on which sort of criminals dogs should be encouraged to kill?

 

Water is a necessary. Pmags are not. Its not price gouging under the law. Just first off.

Secondly: Free market is a free market. That includes price gouging. Your remedy is to shun the person and refuse them business with you and others, and to talk a lot of ****. If people don't care? Well, they don't care fella. I still like cheap ammo.

 

Hear hear to your first point. I think Guns should only be sold by a specialist gun shop, stores like Walmart have no business selling that kind of stock.

Admittedly I'm British and have no stake in this but from my observations there are so many things which could be tightened up without having to take everyone's guns away which would help to cut back on gun crime.

 

I'd support that dog ripping that 80 year old apart if that 80 year old was trying to set a house full of children on fire.

Yes.

 

You are certainly free to buy their stuff. I will not and will spend the rest of my life discouraging people from doing business with CTD.

 

Just like banning anyone from carrying a knife in the UK will cut back on knife crime?

I work as a consultant and represent a very prominent, enormous public pension plan. They have voted to use whatever measures they can to pressure any of their portfolio companies/public stock investment companies to stop selling guns and accessories, etc.

This is the way that stuff gets done in the country. Politicians are really useless. But pressuring big firms to change their habits seems to work better. I'm indifferent on this issue, but if I were an anti-gun activist, I would target these types of strategies instead of hoping that to move politicians/constitution.
