Greenfire2471 0 Posted January 10, 2013 The Washington Post recently reported the Obama administrations strategy to involve businesses, specifically Wal-Mart, to implement more gun restrictions. http://www.washingto...346f_story.html "To sell such changes, the White House is developing strategies to work around the National Rifle Association that one source said could include rallying support from Wal-Mart and other gun retailers for measures that would benefit their businesses." http://www.washingto...8dfa_story.html Wal-Mart Stores Inc. will join talks at the White House on Thursday about gun control and safety. Nutnfancy of TheNutnfancyProject is proposing a WEEKLONG pressure campaign, starting today January 9th.

njmike319 0 Posted January 10, 2013 I will send an email.. I like walmart because they have alot of registers open and i can get my shit and get out.. main reason i skip Kmart.. See I look at it in a totally different way. To me, and yes it is my opinion, it is not about if you like or dislike Walmart it is what the POTUS is trying to do. Chicago politics at its best, strong arm companies into supporting what he wants to get past. Just like the healthcare bill, backroom deals will be the norm.

Hell, if it was not for walmart there would not be the photos of "people of walmart". Once again this is not picking on Walmart, it the WH had said we are meeting with Dicks to discuss gun control, then you would see people saying to contact Dicks. This is nothing more than countering what the WH is trying to do, IMHO. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Knuckle Sandwich 5 Posted January 10, 2013 Response from Walmart. Thank you for your message. Dear Knuckle, Thank you for your recent inquiry. Walmart, like the rest of the country, has been engaged in a national dialogue about the responsible sale and regulation of firearms. We have had ongoing conversations with the Administration, Congress, Mayor Bloomberg’s office, sportsmen groups, suppliers and others to listen and share our thoughts and experiences. Over the years we have been very purposeful about striking the right balance between serving hunters and sportsmen and ensuring that we sell firearms responsibly. In fact, we became a charter member of Mayor Bloomberg’s coalition against illegal guns and adopted the 10-point code established by the Responsible Firearms Retailer Partnership that goes beyond what the law requires. We have also spoken to the Vice President’s office to share our perspective. We take this issue very seriously and are committed staying engaged in this discussion as the Administration and Congress work toward a consensus on the right path forward. Sincerely, Walmart Customer Care Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray Ray 3,566 Posted January 10, 2013 Wow, I guess I gotta skip Wal-Mart when I'm at Cabela's. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
voyager9 3,434 Posted January 11, 2013 I can imagine the dialog at the meeting: Biden: Walmart, you will stop selling guns. Walmart: why would we do that? Biden: look at these. It would be a shame if they were made public.... http://www.star-telegram.com/2013/01/10/4537797/lawmakers-release-documents-on.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ECShooter 0 Posted January 11, 2013 Hate Walmart, but sent off about thirty emails and am going to be mailing several letters to their corp offices every day for seven days. Can't hurt. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
