The bottom line (pun intended) is that WalMart is a POS company that is politically correct when they can afford it. This excerpt is a couple years old but it tells you their political correctness is also available at mark down prices.
TIMEBusiness After initially declining to discuss gun policy with the White House, representatives from Walmart met with Attorney General Eric Holder on Thursday as part of the Obama Administration’s ongoing talks on guns and gun control. Walmart’s apparent reluctance may reflect the extent to which gun sales have become an important part of the retailer’s bottom line. But just how important are they? The U.S.’s largest retailer has what you might call an on-again, off-again relationship with guns. Back in 2006, Walmart stopped selling guns at a third of its stores, citing a lack of demand and “diminished customer relevancy.” Instead, it replaced firearms with other sporting goods like home fitness and exercise products. According to a 2006 New York Times article, this move coincided with Walmart’s shift away from rural areas and toward cities and suburbs. (MORE: The Myth of the Four-Year College Degree) But when the recession hit in 2009, even “everyday low prices” couldn’t keep sales from slumping. Walmart experienced seven straight quarters of same-store sales declines in the U.S., triggering the retailer to expand its product selection. Among the additions: fishing rods, craft and sewing supplies, and guns. Selections of rifles, shotguns and ammunition previously sold at Walmart were back as the retailer tried once again to target customers in more rural parts of the country. Today, guns are sold at between 1,700 and 1,800 of the 4,000 outlets across the U.S., says Walmart spokesperson Kory Lundberg. At about a third of its stores, the offerings include “modern sporting rifles,” a term that refers to the type of semiautomatic rifle used in the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in December. Walmart doesn’t release specific gun-sales figures, so it’s difficult to determine what share of total U.S. gun sales are made at the country’s largest retailer. But given its broad, national reach, Walmart is likely the single biggest firearms seller in the U.S. And lately business has been good: even before reports that Walmart had sold out of semiautomatic rifles following Sandy Hook, chief merchandising officer Duncan MacNaughton said in October that revenue from gun sales increased 76% in the first half of the most recent fiscal year, while ammunition sales increased 30% |

YOU'VE taken it to a new level. A whole 'nother level, my friend. 10/10 would read again Folks, this is how quality trolling is done. Usually, you have to use kind of a light touch. Like a safecracker. Or a pickpocket. Sanchez, here, has managed to skillfully (and, dare I say it? Rather artfully) get us all to the point where he can brazenly and openly sling a bunch of Alinsky-styled insults and it almost doesn't look like he's trolling at all. Not many of us can claim that status. Certainly not I. Sanchez, I salute you. |

You have yet to do anything other than deflect and make wild assed accusations. It's fine sea. I get it. This is your circle jerk. |

OK guys, Sanchez knows better than us. We better stop arguing with an expert. He knows what an effective leader Barry is too. Let's all get out the kool aid now.

Truth is, I could take or leave buying another one...until I am told I will no longer be allowed and then it pushes me off the fence. It will be displayed in my backyard so as to not offend anyone, but it will fly. That governor is weak. |

but some need to save the 8-bux so they can afford a smidgeon of righteous indignation.
