Am I backing down no. As I said before, I think its a trial balloon. I think that trial balloon needs to be met with a strong message. We differ on how we processed the quote from the source. End of the day, you call or email with your message as you stated above, that works. I sent a stronger message based based on what I believe is behind the statement. Right or wrong we can go around in circles on this. Take away for me, Walmart is the trial balloon and must be told to step away.

Did i lie, I am going by the source that was quoted in the article. For your reference, "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." Based on the sources information, I decided to act. I cant tell Walmart Sr. Management what to do, but I can tell them how I will spend my money. Like I said, more than likely a trial balloon, but I am not willing in to take that chance. In reference to you other point about about the forums putting other places out of business, here is a list that could be used if you wanted. http://dailycaller.c...who-hates-guns/ End of the day, its all about opinions. Mine is to act now, if we dont share that, I have do not have an issue with it.

I think you are missing the point here. There are no "other large businesses" on board at this time. This is a classic trial ballon being floated by the WH. No reaction, then they strong arm other retailers into doing the same. Is inaction on your rights somthing your willing to gamble on. The minute or two it will take me write an email and make a call is worth it to me. If the name another company then yes, I will have the same response. I guess it boils down to how strongly you believe in something.

Depends on how you look at it. If the WH is out there saying you're a partner to restrict gun sales there has to be some agreement with Walmart to make this statement. So people are being proactive and telling Walmart to step back.

I promise to c/p the email i get back from them. Regardless, we need to get everybody to contact them and tell them to step away from the idea.

If you ask me, we need to get everybody to do what I just did. I see how they are using Walmart as a lead in helping to control guns. I just came from the WalMart site and sent an email telling them I will no longer shop at WalMart since they are working to limit my acces to guns. Everybody we can get, needs to contact them with the same message. Prevent the administration from having a partner in WalMart. https://corporate.wa...porate-feedback
