Sleeping with the enemy. Sure, how else can they learn the customer's race.

Wal-Mart to Film Gun Sales: Wal-Mart Stores Inc, the world's
largest retailer, unveiled plans on Monday to film its gun sales in the United
States and create a computerized log of purchases in a bid to stop guns
falling into the wrong hands. Wal-Mart, which is the largest seller of
firearms in the United States, agreed a 10-point code, which also
includes rigid inventory controls, with a bipartisan coalition of Mayors
Against Illegal Guns led by New York's Michael Bloomberg. The retailer
said it will develop a first-of-its-kind computerized crime gun trace
log that will flag purchases by customers who have previously bought
guns later recovered in crimes. (Wal-Mart has discontinued sales of
firearms and ammunition at many of its stores.).
