Since Wally World is sucking up to Bloomberg and his lunatic ideas to keep us "safe," what makes you think they WOULDN'T limit sales of guns and ammo further, or start posting?

Wallmart can't even process a return without 2hours of questions and answers. I brought back a Christmass present, and after half a dozen calls, and an hour in the store, where I met a nice lady in 2 casts, from an accident, who only wanted to exchange an un-opened bead cover, They had 4 people behind the counter, none of them knew how to go about doing a simple exchange. I got her a wheelchair and finally after raising my voice, asking for the woman who I was supposed to see, (the store manager), who after half an hour of paging her, they tell me she dosen't want to be bothered with this now, and could I come back another time.Then I lost it, long story shorter, they returned my money, in cash, and refunded the amount again on my wifes CC, and I realised that they never asked for the gift, either. So now I had the original present, the cc refund, and the cash. Good thing I am an honest guy, but I wouldn't worry about any gun policy Walmart strikes with the Mayor of NY, as they will end up loosing the records anyhow.

Now we know Walmarts true plans and it's not dominating the retail market, it is about corporate exploitation of the free world. That's what the movie The Terminator was based on, a corporation taking over the world and enslaving the human race. I think I finally see the light, Walmart makes certain we can only shop with them, and then they enact their own laws starting with guns. If it were for our health and for the good of Americans it would have started with Alcohol and Tobacco or the candy section. By starting with the guns they have shown their true philosophy and they can only began by the time honored method of victim disarmament first.

Just purchased a brand new Marlin model 60 .22 in stainless with fold down sights. Only gun I've purchased from Walmart, and seems like the last.
Stupid turds! They say WE'RE paranoid. Gun owners are like the country's neighborhood watch. (ooh... that's good.... I'm putting that in my signature) You really don't want to spy on your neighborhood watch do you?
How about video taping streets in high crime areas so we can develop more video evidence against COMMITTED CRIMES instead of Assumed Potential Crimes.
Idiots.

One thing that everybody seems to be missing:
Time for me to start shopping at Target again, and write Wal*Mart another letter.
This is not what "all FFLs" do, this is an additional, more burdensome restriction.

This is where we in the RKBA community often fail. It doesn't matter one whit if this works, or is new, or whatever. What matters is that to the penny-public it looks like Bloomberg has done something, it looks like Wal-Mart has done something, and everyone feels awesome.
Big Joke?
Distinct possibility.
Out of ALL of the things listed, the only one NOT being done already is the software to track Wal-Mart purchases. Everything else is already being done.
As said above, just how many long gun purchases - from Wal-Mart - are going to be used in the commission of a crime, and confiscated?
It is NOTHING more than the standard liberal fru-ha-ha that says "look what we did" that produces no real benefit, and more importantly, does nothing that isn't already being done (trust me, if BATF thought an individual store was creating a problem, that store would not be selling guns).
Actually, it is a REAL nice item for the people in tin-foil hats to scream about.

You know Target won't even sell toy guns, right? I wouldn't shop there.

Gee I am real dissappointed by the general lack of outrage in these posts. Walmart has caved to Bloomberg and his crew. 17% of Remingtons sales alone take place at Walmart. That is a lot of guns. Its not about the local Walmart in your town. Its about the 2,447 Super stores and 971 Discount stores across the country.
When Walmart does something like this videotaping they will use the best of available technology to catalog and track all the sales. Instant retrieval. Google search capability. That will mean by proxy Bloomberg has acheived a NATIONAL REGISTRATION program. You don't think that next year he will tell the press "why if Walmart can do it can't the US Government?" You think that YOUR LOCAL police forces won't walk into the local Walmart and demand to do ad hoc queries on their databases? Bloomberg has already sent his cops as far as Virgina to pull off stings at gunshows and gunshops. He has teamed up HIS cops with BATF agents to walk into gunshops in NY and the BATF guy asks for the yellow sheets while the NY cop looks over their shoulder. Totally violating the law regards privacy of the forms. You tell me that the chiefs of police in the major cities and your State Troopers won't take advantage of this? The vast majority of chiefs are political appointees.
When Bloomberg calls for Microstamping and turns to Walmart what do you think will happen. Walmart will DEMAND IT OF THEIR VENDORS. 17% of Remingtons business guys !!! Don't you think Tommy Milner may winch but he will salute and say Ay Ay captain ! All without a single legislature having to act. YOU DON'T GET TO VOTE ON THIS ONE. This my friends is the real POST HELLER WORLD.
Its all about the big MO. The momentum is building folks. You ingnore this. You ignore that. Then in a few years everyone of your neighbors are agreeing with the "guns should be stored at the police station" crowd. You'll be the one that they turn too and say "didn't you own guns Harry?" and they will be turning you in for re-education.
Wake up PLEASE !

Neither does Sears. Neither does my local grocery. The point of avoiding Wal*Mart is that they do sell guns, but only under onerous (read: more restrictive than law) terms.

Wow, conspiracy theory much? As stated earlier, Wal-Mart no more "videotapes" firearm transfers than they do sales of lawn furniture. Has ANYONE seen an individual be videotaped while in the process of buying a gun at Wal-Mart? I mean camera-in-face videotaping? No? Didn't think so. And even if they did have cameras sophisticated enough to zero in on a customer's personal info, the very second that they entered their SSN, that's a breach of privacy, if Wal-Mart chooses to go the "instant retrieval google-search capability" route. The fact is this - Wal-Mart, like any other retail establishment (even your local mom & pop gun shop) has video surveillance to protect their property and merchandise. That DOES NOT equal "videotaping gun sales" no matter how much you may want it to. This partnership with Bloomberg, however ridiculous and reprehensible, is a far cry from the sort of "national registration" cabal you're crowing about.
Seriously. Calm down a bit, maybe loosen the chinstrap on your tin foil hat. It'll do wonders for your blood pressure.
