Walmart the Latest Victim of Newest Liberal Anti-Gun Tactic

by Warner Todd Huston April 9, 2015 5:03 pm

The newest angle that anti-constitution liberals are using to push gun control is to force corporate boards to bow to political agendas in the boardroom instead of thinking of the bottom line. That is what is happening to Walmart right now as an anti-gun group that has shares in Walmart is trying to use its investment as a weapon to force Walmart to stop selling guns and ammo.

This group of investors tried to force Walmart to institute a no-gun policy that was based on the group’s social agenda and had nothing at all to do with business concerns. Walmart refused to do so and so the investor group took Walmart to court to force the company to bend to the anti-gun agenda.

In its first court case, Walmart lost and a left-wing, anti-constitution judge told Walmart to bow to the investor group’s will.

Now Walmart is appealing[1] and if it loses again it will change how America does business... and for the worse.

Walmart’s right to sell firearms and ammunition is being threatened by a lawsuit.

Fox Business Network reporter Adam Shapiro reported on “Fox and Friends First” this morning that a court decision could stop the retail giant from selling guns, which could change the way publicly traded companies do business in the United States.

Indeed. Who is next up with an agenda? Black people who hate Barbie Dolls? Lesbians who hate Ken Dolls? Enviro-fascists who think fishing gear and lures are cruel to fish? People who are allergic to synthetic fabrics and demand Walmart only sell cotton or wool garmants? Where will it end?

This one could go all the way to the USSC.

It’s nice to be aware of what’s going on, but the alarm may be premature. In Walmart’s case, for instance, the court case is just about putting the anti-gun faction proposals up for a vote at the shareholder’s meeting. The court is not forcing Walmart to stop selling guns.

And the Cabela’s case is just some anti-gun dweeb church getting free publicity. As noted in the story, their influence with the company is minute.
