As a national retailer, Wal-Mart already has major image problems.
Just Google Wal-Mart sucks to see for yourself the long list of sites dedicated to destroying America’s biggest retailer. Maybe Wal-Mart believes that cooperating with anti-gun rights Mayor Michael Bloomberg will improve its public image. That’s certainly not the case when it comes to gun owners. I don’t see any need to be videotaped while purchasing weapons, despite the fact that I’m probably already being videotaped everywhere else in the store.
It’s the spirit of the thing. Wal-Mart is sending a message to all the people who buy a rifle or shotgun in its stores and that message is “we think you are a criminal or have the potential to be one.”
I sent their headquarters a note of displeasure. You can too.
