Allowing felons to get guns just because Wal-Mart wants to increase their profit margin should be reason enough to not only shut down all Wal-Marts in California, but force the company to close all their stores, for good.
Wal-Mart, the nation’s largest seller of guns, agreed Friday to immediately halt the sale of firearms at its 118 California stores after an investigation by Attorney General Bill Lockyer found numerous violations of state gun laws.
Lockyer said six Wal-Mart stores inspected by his office in the Central Valley and Sacramento had violated state laws 490 times, including two incidents where guns were sold to convicted felons. Along with numerous paperwork errors, some guns were released before background checks were finished or fingerprints were taken.
Are we stupid enough to think that this is only happening at Wal-Mart and only in California? Any store found violating gun laws should be closed for good. No exceptions.
