    Our Wally world is posted "No Firearms" I suspect they are posting this at every store? Anyway, if it's posted then the guy made a error in judgement..

    AR-15s are gateway man enhancers that could lead to trebuchets.

    90% of mass shootings occur in gun-free zones. Making your store a gun-free zone increases the chances of a mass shooting occurring.

    Well at one point tobacco was considered medicine. After couple hundred years that has all is found to be untrue and associated with many chronic and deadly consequences!

    Vaping in JUST a small fraction of the time has already presented mystery deaths and lung disease. Time will tell, and for the record I did say EVOLVE for a reason!

    A sixth person died from vaping-related lung disease. Here's what you need to know
    CNN

    Time will tell!

    No big deal. Private property owners should be allowed to make such rules. That said, I'm getting close to not going to Wal-Mart. They are getting too political, and in addition, at our local store they harass anybody who is buying things not in grocery bags.

    My bet is that they will find that every vaping disease is caused by smoking THC with some kind of oil contaminant. Over 80% of the cases do involve THC with oil contaminant (including Vit. E). I don't smoke or vape, but I think the hysteria against vaping is silly. They need to start public campaigns about the danger of vaping contaminated THC products, not banning eCigarettes.

    Same here! They call it "Aggressive Greeters" they scan your receipt if there are items to large to be bagged.. Blame the thieves and those stupid self checkout machines. I cant count how many times I have unknowingly rolled out of the store with items not scanned, mostly produce!

    Nothing like saving yourself from being a victim of a lunatic like letting every single lunatic carry a gun.

    That will work too if that's what you feel you need to do. I just shop on the weekends "Very Crowded" and look for really overweight people, if shooting starts I'll pull one down and throw can goods at the shooter from behind the hair knoll ;)

    The more private places ban lawful gun use, the more money there is to be made in gun friendly alternatives.

    It's not anything I'd get in a big gun battle with, just a few pops to dissuade the bad guys. AND HEY! I might be the fat guy! LOL

    I understood that but if 90% of mass shootings occur in gun free zones and 90% of the types of venues where mass shooting are gun free than your data is irrelevant.

    so I ask again what percentage of venues where mass gatherings take place are gun free zones?

    I leave that to the People to express in the policies they support. I don't always concur with the democratic will (as in the arrogation by the State of the right to kill people - that I might expect of China, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Iran, but not of an advanced democracy.)
    Concerns are what they are, and everyone is free to express his. Whether any are deemed sufficiently meritorious to require legislative action is, again, a determination to be made by the People.

    For me firearms are tools, with the potential of being lethal, like automobiles. Remove the mystique and treat them comparably. I could take the attitude, "I am a competent, responsible driver that maintains my vehicle. Why must I be subjected to the inconvenience of licensing, registration, safety inspections, etc. rather than bad motorists?" Of course, I recognize the necessity of distinguishing and defer to that need in the public interest.

    The inordinate level of firearm fatalities in the US, whether by suicide, homicide, or accident, is facilitated by the proliferation of firearms, and that is enabled by the relative permissiveness of the law compared to advanced nations with far lower incidence of firearm casualties.

    Eminently sensible. I see no reason why individuals who establish their qualifications should be subjected to continual, frequent, and repeated demands that they demonstration it over and over.

    Of course, automobiles can be traced, and firearms used in the commission of crimes, whether illegally purchased, lost or stolen, should be traceable by law enforcement as well.

    As with drivers, the vast majority of gunsters are sensible, law-abiding folks. They need to distinguish themselves from those who are not, even of that entails a modicum of inconvenience. And, as with automobiles, accidents happen, and that often involves negligence. Surely, the case of a passenger being shot by a yellow lab recently is a reminder that the reckless treatment of a gun, as happens all to frequently when children have access to them in the home, demands that a penalty be imposed upon the offender.

    What would you say about making the last legal owner responsible for all actions taken using their gun. Whether stolen, lost, or accidental. Forcing people to put effort into protecting their gun.

    Licensing firearms is a waste of time. It is easy to see a license on an automobile. I doubt that a law enforcement officer has ever seen one of my firearms. Only the law abiding will license and the lawless will not.
    The US and Canada have about the same rate of suicides. If guns are not available, they just pick another method.

    same way Walmart separates lawful knife use from unlawful knife use in its knife friendly stores
    same way Home Depot separates lawful hammer use from unlawful hammer use in its hammer friendly stores

    With the law.
