I tried to buy a gun at Walmart twice, and roadblocks left me empty-handed both times
Business Insider ^ | 08/21/2019 | Haley Peterson

I went to Walmart with the intention of buying a gun last week as part of an investigation into the placement, selection, marketing, and security of firearms in Walmart's stores, and to learn more about the retailer's processes governing gun sales.

My journey to bring a gun home from Walmart turned out to be far more complicated than I expected.

Long article.

Lib chick reporter went to Wally World to buy a gun.

I actually think she learned something. I hope.

I have to admit that was a pretty interesting article.

She looks really liberal in her pic too.

Good step by step detail in her report, I also hope she learned something form this.

I wonder if being “infringed” triggered her.

They’d almost have to pay for that kind of story.

Wont make a lick o’ difference.

It’s all about the feelz and nothing to do with the facts with the gun grabbers.

Pathetic. Written by a ditzym, teenage, girly snowflake.

She doesn’t come across as ditzy. She set out to confirm her biases that Walmart would sell guns at every store to every Tom, Dick, and Jane. All of her preconceived notions were refuted and dispelled.

I guess her right was infringed.

What a ridiculously long article

And halfway through she still hadn’t said much so, I bailed

She like a girlfriend with nonself esteem

Just talking and talking and talking

Too funny. Liberal snowflake figures to hop in the car and cash and carry a rifle back home in 15 minutes flat to show how easy it is to buy a gun in America. Lib snowflaked is humbled when she realizes she has no clue what it takes to buy a gun in America.

PWNED.

She probably went right back to her impeach Trump tweets to get it out of her system.

The takeaway is that Walmart itself has policies that make it difficult to buy a gun there. Being shortstaffed is another problem, too. I would never try to buy one there - their selection is limited and uninspired. It’s a great place to buy ammunition, though.

As most libs are shocked to discover.

I actually think she learned something. I hope.

Whether or not she learned anything, she appears to have been factual in her accounting of her experience.

I say good for her and good job by Wal-Mart for being so strict in adhering to the law.

win-win all the way around as best I can tell. (Yes, I read the entire thing.)

That’s what I thought too. She looks like a crazed leftard which added to my suspicions.

I was ready to hate this article but it was written from someone who is a rookie on firearms and stuck to objective impressions. It would have been a better article if she went to an actual gun store.

I haven’t bought a firearm for quite a while now, but there was no wait the last time I bought a gun from Walmart. I did have a concealed weapons permit though which made the background check unnecessary.

I once bought a gun at WM precisely because it was different from what the gun stores usually sell. Didn’t go there looking for it...just saw it, wanted it, and bought it. Took forever, though.

I actually liked the story. Part of the reason I liked it, is that despite reading it closely, I could not tell if she was pro-gun or anti-gun.

THAT is how journalism SHOULD work.
