From the Denver Post (http://www.denverpost.com/sportscolumnists/ci_9138675)
"In recent weeks, Mayors Against Illegal Guns took a different route to change — through mega-retailer Wal-Mart, the nation's leading gun seller and a company whose sheer size can steer social norms on health care, the environment and other issues.
The company has agreed to help law enforcement by videotaping gun sales, tracking guns bought at its stores that contribute to crimes and blocking sales to buyers whose background checks are inconclusive. "
How do you feel about being videotapped when you buy a firearm? Apparently having to go through a background check isn't good enough anymore? Now we need a video tape showing the transaction?
The LAST time I bought ammo at Wally-world I was stocking up for hunting season and practice, and I honestly thought the dumb clerk was going to call the cops. He insinuated that I was buying too much ammo (in various calibers) and even asked me, what I was going to do with it? I told him practice and big game hunting. But it still made me mad. I knew right then they would get no more of my firearms business!
