That IS the scary thought about it, however if you look at the typical shopper in any Southern town (I refer to Southern towns only because those are the only Walmart's I have ever been in), they seem to be gun-loving, NASCAR watching, all American fans.

Surely if all the good-ol-boys in our country started protesting Walmart, they would feel it financially, at least to some extent.

Yes. I split my time between Indianapolis and Lexington, VA, and the difference between the Wal-Marts are astounding.

Like you mentioned, it really does cater to the gun-loving, NASCAR type folks in the South, as the hunting section (they actually have a hunting section in Lexington) is like 10 times larger than the one in Indy.

But while Wal-Mart offers great prices on ammo and accessories, I never thought their gun prices were that hot. I imagine that Wal-Mart isn't able to buy quite enough bulk of guns that it can really wield a lot of power over the gun manufacturers, as it can pretty much any other manufacturer in the world. That's just speculation, though.
