Wal-Mart is a local friend to most cities and towns. It contributes to local scholarships, fund-raisers and community events. Wal-Mart provides affordable goods at the lowest prices, and is a major winner in NAFTA. Global economic policies lean in favor of the Wal-Marts, not the NRA member in some backwater town. Global economic policies will see that Wal-Marts prosper. In exchange, is it unreasonable for Wal-Mart Corporate to look upon the UN policy on strict gun control as a favorable thing? Yes. Because Wal-Mart works with globalization, not against it like the black-helicopter crowd. Wal-Marts and corporations like it are going to set policies on a global level much much more than old-style national governments... because the world is shrinking and multi-national corporations swing more weight than local lawmakers. Corporations, not politicians, will set more and more of the policies and rules that the world will live by... get used to it.

get used to it.

Everything that you said is inevitable, we are fighting against, because it's not inevitable. Go join the United Pessimists Dedicated to Non-Action and the Preservation of the Status Quo if your gonna spew that crap.

Only due to the ever growing greed of the U.S. citizen.

If only more Christian's would start practicing what they preached, or pretend to adhere to on Sunday mornings, then we wouldn't have these kind of greedy issues and corporations wouldn't be getting away with these antics.

Corporations, governments and countries are setting policies. There is little room for actual people to.

I prefer to live a life of discontent so; NO, I will not get used to it, and will continue to hound my representatives.

Even if WalMart can set any sales constriction they wish as private company it doesn't stop me from gaining access elsewhere.
