    Gosh. It's almost like people don't appreciate when government and people who don't understand the topic use their constitutional rights as a red herring...

    It's almost like making these gun control arguments just sells more guns... more money for everyone!

    Somehow I doubt that's what's going on here.

    Edit: at least, I don't see any car dealerships offering free abortions with every car purchase...

    Hmm... Maybe getting abortions isn't as popular as going shooting?

    Sounds like Walmart is the problem.

    Not possible. Walmarts aren't giving out abortions.

    Agreed. Other developed countries have far fewer shootings in Walmarts.

    Other developed countries have far better access to education, healthcare (including mental health), and far superior social safety nets.

    The countries who don't have violent crime and murder rates as high and higher than the US.

    Many countries with similar numbers of gun owning households as have lower violent crime and murder rates than those with far fewer guns.

    There is no correlation with guns. The correlation is with better social policies and protections for the poor and middle class.

    Yes, they have good Walmart control legislation in place. Something we could learn from, if the Walmart lobby in this country weren't so powerful.

    This thread is about Walmart. Try to stay on topic.

    I'll not be lectured by a bilge-sucking carouser like you, thank you very much.

    You're a lily-livered landlubber, a scallywag, and a sorry excuse for a sailor!

    *Edit*
    Sorry barfo, I didn't mean to use such harsh language, but I’m feeling as crabby as a one-legged parrot, and as sour as a barrel of grog...

    There is a strong correlation between the number of Walmarts a country has and the number of mass shootings.
