Re: Wal-Mart to stop selling AR-15s and similar weapons in U.S. [Re: Shroomslip]

I like guns. I like my *right* to own guns as an American, but I really don't care that Wal-Mart is no longer carrying AR-15's and such. There are plenty of other places I'd rather go to buy a rifle/gun. It may be a political move, it may not. How would I ever know the truth?

The CVS thing had me thinking also "who the hell goes to CVS for cigarettes anyway?" That was a pretty easy move for them. They probably weren't selling ANY cigarettes so they designed a way to make it look like they were taking a stand or something. Banning guns isn't going to solve anything.

Here' it shows that AUS just bought guns from the people

so people that didn't really want guns sold them to be destroyed rather then selling them to a rando





australia didnt just buy the guns back from people, they placed heavy
restrictions on ownership, banned certain types of guns and set a mandatory
buyback, in order to not become a criminal and be subjected to prison time you
had to surrender your weapons

so, even the people that wanted to keep their guns were forced to sell them to
the government to be destroyed or they would face criminal prosecution

now, what did that do for australia?

and as crazy as it sounds, it did the same for england

thankfully, the US government cannot ban guns

Yeah I'm sure Walmart is in Liberal hands, they are super fair with their employees :smirk:





Liberals can't be an unfair employer?  Seems narrow minded.





Of course its narrowminded, because its true:


http://www.politicususa.com/2013/12/23/walmart-busted-forcing-employees-political-contributions-republicans.html


Walmart not just heavily sponsors the republican party, it tries to blackmail its employees to do the same.





really, so it was force? did they deduct it from people's paychecks without
their consent? did they hold people down and take the money from their wallets?
did they use one of their guns to take the money? how exactly were walmart
employees forced to donate money to political action committees?

oh, they offered $2 to charity for each $1 donated to the PAC

Quote:

FEC commissioners are deadlocked on whether the practice is illegal or not, but Walmart’s practice of offering 2 to 1 charity donations in exchange for employee donations has caused current and former FEC commissioners to call the practice illegal and over the line.




but hey, employees were forced to donate 50% of that to democrats, why arent we
hearing about that? I mean are the democrats really so butthurt that all the
money didnt go to them? do you not understand how these PACs work? the
employees have a choice as to which fund they'd like to contribute and whether
or not they would like to contribute, so, if they dont want to contribute to
the election funds of either party, they dont have to

I group together with people whenever I enter a checkout line or go to a party.

You're grouping conservative and liberal employers into 2 groups.

Apparently, liberals can't be unfair employers.  Do you not understand what you said yourself?

I didnt say progressive employers can't be complete Scrooges, I just noted on a trend that its generally the more conservative ones who manifest in such a way.

A definition of progressiveness and conservatism is that the former tend to favor the people over capital, and the latter capital over the people.

That of course is up for debate so, sure.

.22s are fine. No one's using them for defense. They're just a cheap plinking round. I love firing off an entire magazine rapid fire, but paying around 4 or 5 dollars to do it makes me not do it. On a .22 it probably doesn't break the dollar mark. Hell with the right purchase it probably doesn't even break the half-dollar mark.

those bricks arent what they used to be, they're around 300 rounds as opposed to
550 rounds which used to cost $11 a few years ago, the ammo hoarders are buying
them up to resell for much higher prices like $50 a brick.
