What are the policy changes?

Walmart Inc. stopped selling AR-15 guns, and other semi-automatic weapons in 2015. It doesn't sell bump stocks, the accessory attached to a semi-automatic gun that makes it easier to fire rounds faster. It also doesn't sell large-capacity magazines.

The retailer says it is also removing items resembling assault-style rifles from its website.

Dick's Sporting Goods announced earlier Wednesday that it would restrict the sale of firearms to those under 21 years old. It didn't mention ammunition.
Riiight.

Like those polls will ever be anything other than the liberal narrative.

Just like the MSNBC poll.

Nothing but propaganda. No matter how many votes for our side.
I wonder why the poll says homeland security?
Your link is to a ICE poll, not a gun poll, this is the header of the poll in your link:

DO YOU SUPPORT ICE'S RECENT ACTIONS IN THE BAY AREA?
It has never mattered what we think. Only what laws stand in the way of them stealing this entire country.

That is TFF...Walmart raked in 489B in 2017 and has one of the most fk'd up websites on earth...too cheap to hire a few millenials for 15.00/hr to fix it.
Walmart as of today is supposedly raising the age to buy any firearm and any ammo to 21.

Screwed up link and I voted without reading it. Dammit! Wrong vote!
Walmart had a mini 14 the other day. Hypocrisy at its finest....

Of course in small town USA I have no real choice of where to shop for most things....
Let's see. An 18-21 year old can be trusted with hand grenades, various machine guns, true assault rifles. Maybe be a gunner on a tank or a riverboat.


At home, he can't buy a box of 22's to kill a pop can?



[bleep] 'em.
Our Walmart quit selling guns - too much "internal loss".
Instead of firing and prosecuting the thieves, they quit carrying the product! Absolutely NO corporate cojones, and won't even BEGIN to support the customer base.

I'm convinced they are searching out the lowest common denominator - and approaching success, quickly.

F'm!

Isn't that the truth.

Jim
They won't sell guns to any one under the age of 21. But, they will enjoy all the safety, freedom and prosperity made possible by the millions of 18 to 20 year old boys who have worn our nations military uniforms and carried a rifle as they went to fight because our nations leaders told them to and many died.

Sorry bean counting self serving bottom dollar counting cowards disgust me. All they are concerned with is a boycott. I can live just fine with out Wally World and any other knee bending place.

If they really wanted to help this country and make it safer they should help figure out a way to legally keep the millions of idiot liberals they are catering to from voting.

Damn people/companies like this make me grouchy, sorry.
To tell the truth I do support this. Personally do not care to see AR weapons in these stores. Then if I started my own gun smithing and or firearms sales operation I am not sure I would be offering to sell or service The AR type firearms to share my frank outlook. When I go to the range to target shoot I have to admit I am a bit uncomfortable with the prevalence of this type of weapons I am seeing the younger crowd is attracted to today.

I do not have to like it and do not have to support it. Same would be true for Dicks and Walmart the way I see this.

Not like this alone will change things much as others are liking this firearm platform and servicing them better than the box stores ever will. JMHO
No
Where is the legality of this? When people who refuse to bake a gay cake for gay people get in so much trouble all the way to the SCOTUS, how can these say even though the law says different, we are selling to 18-20 year olds?
By current law an 18 year old can buy a rifle in most states. In such a state any business selling to the public that restricts sales of firearms by some age they make up themselves may be in violation of same laws that prevent them from not selling to blacks or gays. I would like to see someone test this. Find someone 18 to less than 21 and go to Dicks and try to purchase some hunting rifle and get video of the whole thing. Then show it to some lawyer and see if there's a case. Could be worth some money.

What is it about this firearm that makes you uncomfortable? Detachable magazines are scary to you? The 'unbelievably powerful' 5.56 cartridge gives you the 'heebie jeebies'? Clearly you are just as confused as nearly every Leftist/Democrat/RINO in the country about the difference between a Tool Used For Evil and an Evil User of Tools. I happen to have civilian examples of both the current US military rifle and the former Soviet Union's military rifle. I think they are both ugly, but neither one of them has jumped into the car and gone off to shoot someone. Maybe mine are more bashful and well behaved than the ones you're uncomfortable with.

Certainly, I would agree with you about the younger crowd making me uncomfortable. But for me it's their 'detached' attitudes towards others and the 'unbelievable' power of Social Media that turns their brains to mush.

And, God Forbid one of them decides to pull a fire alarm and use a dump truck to run over hundreds of children. I guess you probably wouldn't work on dump trucks either if you were a mechanic?

If you are using Firefox, right click on the link and choose "open in a Private Window". Then vote "Mental Health". Do this several times.

ETA: Apparently the poll question changed.

These kids and AR's are a whole different ball of wax. ChasR has a good point. Might reel your sermon in a little a pay attention to what's going on around you. I've seen quite a bit of it at my range. The portion of new members I interview that say "they never want to go back to Potts (public open range) is astounding. And their reasons revolve around college kids, attitude, and recklessness they've seen.

It's a problem. Wake up.
If someone hollered "Hey, Elmer!" in here, half of you fuggers would break your necks turning to see who was calling you... whistle
I support a business selling what they want to who they want, within the law. The customer can go somewhere else.

I support businesses that support me and my beliefs, whenever humanly possible.

It isn't always possible, but is in most cases.

The freedom to choose who you do business with is often underrated.

Not to bust your chops, but I have to wonder what Great Grandpa thought of all the kids buying Winchester model 54s and 70s and milsurp Springfields after WWI.
The way I see it, this is a technology thing. The great wood and polished steel of those former "assault-style" weapons has given way to more durable synthetics and high-tech metal treatments. More advanced fabrication methods have yielded guns with less complex machining in materials that are easier to finish. and of course there have been advancements in doing what guns are meant to do - put lead on target.

The only real difference between the post-WWI advancements and today's advancements is that material and fabrication hadn't really changed. But firepower did. So, maybe this 1/2 change didn't alarm Great Grandpa as much.
My vote for mental health moved the pole 2%, if that tells you anything.

Maybe the gun's capability hasn't changed much, but damn if society hasn't. Kids are being programmed by handheld devices and it's a sick fact that everyone ignores. It's the problem of this generation's parents....but they are too busy being kids themselves.

What "pole" would that be?
Carrying any goods, whether guns, sleeping bags clothing or golf clubs is a policy decision made by a Company's executives. They have this right and we have the right to shop where we want - it works both ways.

And since it’s by an MSM affiliate they are going to skew the results anyway. What a joke.

Could care less about Walmart or dicks since I do not purchase ammo or firearms from either one!

You would starve to death around here, many semi auto rifles but I don't see any ARs that you speak of. Do you actually know what an AR is?

It doesn't matter what they decide to sell or what they don't decide to sell. The point that seems to be missed is age discrimination for the legal purchase of legal firearms.


You'd think an attorney would be all over it. Why not put up a sigh that says:

"We don't sell guns to foster kids"

Or

"We don't sell guns to blacks"

Or

"We don't sell guns to ________"


That's where the bullschit is. I don't believe they have the right to do it.

You are listing protected classes of people... kids are not a protected class. As proof notice they send their asses to war.
Reminds me of a sign in the Schilling Night Market in Taipei "the animals in this business were definitely not protected, enjoy!
