For Gun Owners

[MountainDon]

There are many companies and organizations that have anti gun policies/beliefs. The NRA website has a resource list in case you're interested in steering your business away from the anti-gun crowd.

The list includes "celebrities"

That'll be a looonnng list.

BTW Don I'm blaming you for this....   I dropped into my favorite gun shop over the weekend and had to fondle one of those 45-70 guide guns.  I don't need another gun. And I don't need a 45-70.  Only by the grace of God they didn't have the barrel and stock I wanted or, like a lost puppy, it would probably have followed me home.  Unfortunately they will be getting one in.

Do you load your own 45-70 Ammo?

[MountainDon]

Thanks, I'll have a read through that a little later tonight.

I don't have my own reloading equipment, but make use of a friend's sometimes.

Wal-Mart To Create Gun Buyer Database

Friday, April 18, 2008


Recently, Wal-Mart joined New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg at a gathering of Bloomberg's anti-gun group, Mayors Against Illegal Guns, to announce a series of changes to the way in which Wal-Mart handles firearm transactions. At the press event, J.P. Suarez, chief compliance officer for Wal-Mart Stores Inc., said: "The costs are, we think, part of what it takes to be responsible." Suarez also added, "This is not a signal that we're getting out of firearms."

Once these changes are up and running, firearm purchases at Wal-Mart will involve a video record of the sale, which the store will keep on file -- effectively creating a video database of gun purchasers.  In addition, Wal-Mart announced that its employees will be given discretion to deny firearms purchases to anyone who has had a firearm traced by BATFE for any reason -- including those who have had a firearm stolen and later used in criminal activity.

Wayne LaPierre, NRA Executive Vice President, said, "I view it as a public relations stunt that stigmatizes law-abiding firearms purchasers exercising their constitutional freedoms. I honestly think it's a corporation trying to curry favor with politicians as opposed to doing anything meaningful about stopping crime."

If you'd like to let Wal-Mart know what you think about their new policy, please contact them by phone, at (800) 925-6278; or electronically, at http://www.walmartstores.com/contactus/feedback.aspx.
