Sorry, didnt mean for that to rhyme...;)

Anyway, he is circulating a petition to ask Wally World to stop selling ammo. I realize this would be a boom to the local shops, but a victory would also be very benificial to the antis. This needs to stop here and now. There are ~36k signatures now. Add yours.

Petition:

Write WW:

My letter to WW:
There is a petition circulated by Michael Moore asking Wal-Mart to stop selling ammunition. I would ask that you ignore his petition, and continue selling ammunition that law-abiding gun-owners and sportsmen enjoy using. Your value-packs of Winchester USA, commonly known as Winchester White Box, and your 100-packs of shotgun shells are only two of the reasons that sportsmen everywhere come to Wal-Mart to purchase goods.

Sincerely,
[Moparmike}

PS: Could you stock a small amount of 8mm hunting ammunition (Federal or Winchester) in stores #359 and #144? Thanks.

[Futo Inu]

I like that P.S. - good idea, ask for an expansion, not a contraction of ammo sales. Petition signed, with comment "Michael Moore is an idiot." Belongs in legal and political, IMO.

[clange]

petition link doesnt work anymore.

[Moparmike]

So edited. Link should work now.

[MAKOwner]

Just curious, have a link to Moore's petition? I would like to see how many signatures he has...

Don't worry, Mike; it doesn't. :neener:

I sent,
Mr. Moore's right to spout nonsense is protected by our Constitution, which also protects the right of ordinary people to defend their own lives if they must. Unlike Mr. Moore's petition signatories, I remain a satisfied Wal-Mart customer. Remembering that every bullet sold at Wal-Mart is one that could SAVE a human life, I applaud Wal-Mart's respect for fundamental human rights in this matter. I urge you to continue your practice of selling handgun ammunition in your stores.
I read, but did not sign, Mr Bowling-ball's petition. It reads, in part,

" In the words of Wal-Mart: "We're nothing without our customers." That's one more reason why they shouldn't want to see their customers dead. {(c) 2003, BigFatIdiot Productions?}

I agree with this statement. It's one more good reason for Wal-Mart to continue to stock all types of ammo.

[Redlg155]

Up to 36044.

Speak with your wallet. I wrote Wal-Mart but didn't feel the need to even mention Michael Moore to make my point.

Here's my letter:

I just wanted to give some feedback on the ammo you have available in the sporting goods section. The Winchester Value Packs are a great buy, but I often find that certain calibers are out of stock (usually .223 Remington or .45 ACP). It would be great if you kept a larger supply on demand. I always pick up a few various value packs on every trip to Wal-Mart, and would buy more if it was more available.

It'll kill two birds with one stone! They'll keep stocking ammo, and hopefully more of what I want! :)

[DigitalWarrior]

MM's target demographic would prefer not to shop at WalMart. The target Demographic looks down on those who shop at WalMart at all.




Each bullet Wal-Mart sells could kill a human being, and far too often, they actually do.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, Anyone want to take a wild guess at how many corpses would be in the streets if .05% of the bullets WalMart sold found their way into people.

I hate people who tell me what I need to do

A company this successful does not need to sell handgun ammunition

Perhaps, Ammunition was a part of WalMart's success. I don't know, otherwise I would be running a 218 BILLION Dollar business like WalMart (God I wish I knew the answer).


People that die because Wal-Mart sells bullets.
Is he insane? I think he was supposed to have gone to college. Don't they teach kids how to determine the difference between correlation and causality? (100% of people who wear shoes die-correlation, therefore shoes cause death-causality)

A good subject for my very first post on this outstanding board. I'm #36097, and expressing my true opinion of Michael Moore would probably get me 86ed from here in short order for Rules of Conduct violations. :cuss: :barf:

Don't much care for him, to put it politely.

"....M.Moore is pandering to the weak minded "sheeple" and is willing to hurt Wal*Mart's bottom line($$$$'s)in a lame attempt to advance his personal, and questionable, agenda."

Signed petition: No. 36381

Sent a little communiqué to Wally World as well:

As whoever is receiving this may know, Michael Moore is attempting to get Wal-Mart to stop selling handgun ammunition. His reasons, while seemingly simple, are wrong. He states that "Each bullet Wal-Mart sells could kill a human being, and far too often, they actually do." Perhaps ammunition sold at Wal-Mart makes a fair percentage of ammunition used in murders; I don't know. But to claim that the ammunition is used "too often" to murder is ridiculous. Of total ammunition sales from Wal-Mart, very, very, very few rounds are used in the commission of a crime. For every round fired with criminal intent, millions, perhaps billions are safely used for sporting purposes such as target shooting.

His claim that the extremely small amount of deaths are "blood on Wal-Mart's hands" is thoroughly absurd. What the miniscule amount of your customers that are violent and insane use their purchases for is not Wal-Mart's fault. What about the baseball bats, knives, and even pillows that are sold by Wal-Mart that are potential murder weapons? If Wal-Mart stops selling every item that has a remote chance of being used in a murder, they could sell nothing. Everything is, in the wrong hands, fatal.

My entire family have been customers at Wal-Mart for several years. Our ammunition purchases are almost exclusively made there, and not a single one of the many thousands of rounds we have purchased there or anywhere else has been used in the commission of a crime. The same statement can be made about well over thirty thousand customers (http://www.petitiononline.com/GT1776/petition.html). No matter what Moore says, your customers want you to keep selling ammunition. What Moore would do, whether he intends to or not, is put Wal-Mart out of business from loss of revenue. Do not let this happen. Please continue to stock ammunition.

In addition, Store no. 2015 in Fairfax, VA,does not carry certain popular calibers. If it would start stocking 7.62x25 Tokarev, 7.62x54R, and .45-70 Gov't, we would use Wal-Mart for further ammunition purchases.
