I don't understand the love for "Big 5." Their guns are waaay overpriced. They're too chicken-s to sell handguns (at least Wallys will order them in some states). To top it off, Big 5 has the words "Sporting Arms" in big yellow letters on the wall. That's the 2nd amendment equivalent to the cross in urine.
Here's what Wal Mart has done for me lately. I wanted one of those cool two shelf pistol cabinets they sell for 49.95 and they were out. I emailed my unhappiness and it was forwarded to my local supercenter and an assistant mgr, who was unable to reach me at my phone # (I keep my ringer off), actually wrote me a letter telling me to call and ask for her. She found the cabinet at a semi distant Wal Mart and had an employee drive to get it. I picked it up the other day. Then their online customer service emailed me on the 3rd telling me one would be sent to my local store. I'm gonna buy that one too (I have so many freakin handguns I like to bolt those pistol cabinets together on top of each other in a tower-currently my tower is 4 cabinets high). Sportsman's Warehouse is the only other place for these pistol cabinets but they want a full $20 more than Wal Mart. Nuts to that!
My wife works for Kmart, so I see the stark differences between the two every day. Half the time, when I pick her up after work, we head straight to Wal Mart to go shopping.
Of course I would change wal mart's lineup of guns (lose the overpriced Ruger Mini 14, add some AKs etc) but there is no disputing that Wallys is the best place on Earth to get an 870 12 or 20 ga. at an unbeatable price.
Remember when dpt stores (sears, wards, jc penney etc) used to carry guns? Since those dumps have turned into chick stores (yes even sears: overpriced Craftsman tools doesn't make up for avoiding firearms), Wal Mart has become the Sears of 1950 in several ways. Then there's Target and Shop Ko that are so feminine you won't find so much as a sham sporting goods dept.
The Chinese imports issue needs to be taken up with your congress"man" not Wal Mart. Every store is selling 90% chinese stuff. Powerful people behind the scenes decided that decades ago in secret. Nationhood and citizen ownership of it was overthrown before WWII. We've actually been living in the "New World Order" for some time. Sure, there's some consolidation that the globalists need to get done (Bush pushing CAFTA and FTAA comes to mind), and other "housekeeping measures" like banning/registering guns, but for the most part, there is no "world" anymore, only corporations.
"Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws" -Mayer Amschel Rothschild [International banking dynasty. There has been an identical central bank owned at least in part by the international bankers in EVERY single "nation" for the better part of a century, be it communist, fascist, a mix of both like us, or whatever. They truly don't care who makes the laws as long as they control the real power.]
"If the American people ever allow the banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation, and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property, until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power of money should be taken from banks and restored to Congress and the people to whom it belongs. I sincerely believe the banking institutions having the issuing power of money, are more dangerous to liberty than standing armies." ~ Thomas Jefferson
