A reporter, based on the blame handed out to Walmart recently, decided to play a "gotcha" and show how easy it is to buy a gun from Walmart in Virginia. What she actually got was a factual, real world experience with background checks. I think she also just learned how much the Liberal media has been lying to her and the country about "easy" purchase of guns.

I tried to buy a gun at Walmart twice, and roadblocks left me empty-handed both times

......"I went to Walmart with the intention of buying a gun last week as part of an investigation into the placement, selection, marketing, and security of firearms in Walmart's stores, and to learn more about the retailer's processes governing gun sales.

My journey to bring a gun home from Walmart turned out to be far more complicated than I expected.

But I had only just finished printing my name when she stopped me and asked whether the address on my license matched my home address. I had moved since I obtained my license, and the addresses didn't match.

That was a problem, she said.

To pass the background check, I would need to bring in a government-issued document with my correct address, such as a bill from a state-owned utility or a car registration. (I have never bought a gun, so I wasn't aware of this.)

She apologized, told me the rules were strict around background checks, and asked me to come back another time to finish the purchase.

snip....

Overall, the experience left me with the impression that buying a gun at Walmart is more complicated than I expected, and that Walmart takes gun sales and security pretty seriously.

What's the chance this story makes it into the MSM???  I know, slim and none....

 

Business Insider is fairly mainstream as it is... but I am sure the gun community can push it even more.

Buying at Walmart is kinda nuts as there is a pretty long wait too. 

Long story short:  her effort was stymied by the normal process any FFL follows plus Walmart’s policies and procedures. Those just add inefficiency but don’t really add any “safety” to the mix. 

Damn. There goes our Walmart loophole. Back to the flea market loophole. Next they’ll ruin the garage sale loophole. 

What? If you don't buy your guns at Walmart, you miss out on meeting people like this:

Apparently, she's been misled by her friends in the Liberal media, thinking she could just wander into Walmart, plink down her credit card, and walk out with a rifle. She found out, that "expanded" background checks, that ALL the Dems are screaming for,  are SOP now.
