I went to Walmart with the intention of buying a gun last week as part of an investigation into the placement, selection, marketing, and security of firearms in Walmart's stores, and to learn more about the retailer's processes governing gun sales.
My journey to bring a gun home from Walmart turned out to be far more complicated than I expected.
Walmart has said that about half of its 4,700 US stores sell guns.
I tried to buy a gun at Walmart twice, and roadblocks left me empty-handed both times
Left’s Perspective About Walmart And Guns Shredded By Reporter Who Wanted To Buy A Firearm
For the last couple of weeks, Democratic presidential candidates have attacked Walmart for selling firearms after a few employees of the business giant called for a walkout because the company sells firearms. But as Twitchy noted, a reporter for Business Insider destroyed the perspective the candidates and some gun control advocates were pushing by visiting Walmart and discovering that it is anything but simple to purchase a firearm there.
After news broke of the employees’ call for a walkout, Senator Bernie Sanders (D-VT) snapped, ‘Walmart should respect the voices of its workers who are calling on the company to stop selling guns. I agree. This is exactly why I believe workers deserve representation on their board, so that their views are heeded.”
