Fuck you, Walmart. Greedy, lazy bags of shit.
God, this country makes me so frustrated sometimes, because I love it dearly, but it just KEEPS fucking up, making the same mistakes over and over and never addressing the real problems.

When it comes to mass killings even those don't seem to matter. Only profit.
does that really matter? or is this just bait?
No it's not. There are states where Walmart no longer sells guns. It depends where you live.
Yeah that will solve our gun problem, thanks Walmart! /s
What. The. Fuck
Disgusting.
but that means they'd have to stop selling these to me
Designed to kill
I work at a Target, and on Christmas Eve the Walmart down the street closes at 6pm, whereas we stay open until 10. For those last four hours, the store gets like 50X trashier because its where all the Walmart overflow get directed to, the difference in clientele is like night and day.
That's hilariously sad and a perfect analogy for America as a whole.
Blame everything and anything for the gun violence other than the availability of the guns used in these shootings.

Why don't we stop violent video game players by putting violent video games at the hands of every kid in school?
Apparently the Own The School Year was back in 2017 according to my research but I could be wrong. Doesn't make it better.

I can't believe I can't buy allergy meds without getting flagged for possibly running a meth lab and video games are too much but you can literally just sell guns and make them readily available. What even is this country these days.

They've got the whole kit and kaboodle there. Want rope, gloves, ski mask, blood stain remover, a change of clothes, sneakers, tarps, knives for trophies, gloves and of course your guns? Visit wallyworld.
The sign was probably placed there specifically for that picture (taken from any number of areas with back to school stuff).
That said, the gun carasouls are very real, and lots of walmarts still have them (and a few other sell guns, but don't openly display them). It should be noted that Walmart usually has deals with the state fish, game, and wild life divisions of the government so that they can sell hunting and fishing licenses. These are not mitigating circumstances mind you, just important to know that Walmart makes money off of selling the licenses for gun and hunting registrations in most states. That's why the call for a blanket gun ban at them is unlikely.
That signage is on top of the gun rack. But to be fair to Walmart, a customer put it there.
yes i know a customer dd this, but i'm preparing my pumped up kicks just in case
Walmart will remove the signage to appease their Republican backers in Congress until the recent mass shootings are swept under the rug and forgotten. Then they'll happy start advertising again.
That doesn't matter. Walmart as a corporation still sells guns in their stores.
Yup. That's an old image and the signage isn't supposed to be there. It was an employee's cruel "joke."
Mkay good I'm glad. We have to make sure to get ahead of info like that because as seen in this thread people will just run with it. There's plenty to hate about this situation and the whole country at large without spreading false info and chasing that all down.
and its not like only a few stores still sell guns, roughly half of all walmarts still sell guns
like Conservatives and videogames?
lets not act like Era saying anything about that picture is bad unless we also acknowledge shit like that
They just want to put a bandaid on the issue until it blows over. I don't think they take this very seriously.
The problem is that the gun problem is never going to go away without serious intervention.
It matters when someone spreads ignorance and makes blanket statements. Sorry that correcting misinformation is "bait" to you though, that's kinda scummy to imply. Your post adds much less to the discussion to be honest.
I'm a strong advocate for not jumping the shark on things that can't be confirmed. I'm not sure what you were stating though. Maybe it was the phrasing but I'm not following.
All I'm saying is we can be vigilant in discussing the issues and problems without spreading fake pictures of unknown origin (supposedly employee or customer made) and jumping off with that like this thread did for almost a page.
I like how they advertise that their cheese snack has cheese in it.but that means they'd have to stop selling these to me
Thank God. There won't be a single mass shooting ever again from now on because Walmart stopped demoing Call of Duty. Woo hoo!
Considering how many human beings die from gunshots every year in the US... Nope, they don't matter.
Now, this story is even more fucked up than I thought it was in the first place.
This marketing/signage is incredibly inappropriate. Unbelievable.
I mean, in a vacuum I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing. But yeah, deflecting from the actual issue of gun proliferation while also continuing to sell rifles in stores is Walmart being willfully tone deaf.
Wow, I'm surprised and glad I've never been to one that sells guns, And I live in Texas of places.
Spreads ignorance like saying Walmart doesnt sell guns? or ignorance like The guns they sell are located predominantly near Toy aisles?
who gives a fuck if state x has gun law Y? when conservatives use shit like this to gaslight the public
