Walmart and Bloomberg

http://www.abc15.com/news/national/story.aspx?content_id=baba5824-6f3b-4384-b05b-a6a251c17d88

It seems Walmart is going to be creating a database of guns it sells. It also seems like the worlds largest retailer is getting into the back pocket of Bloomberg on his campaign against guns. Walmart says "illegal" gun but Bloomie is against private citizens owning firearms outright. Watch it Wally World, if you capitulate on one thing, they are sure to ask you for more later.

It seems to me that Walmarts database, which it already has, since it is an FFL, it already in each store that sells weapons. Now it wants to link all Walmarts with the lists of all. Walmart is not a police organization and should not be collecting this data. This seems like a great opening for thugs to get information of the people who have bought guns. I am sure this database will contain names, addresses, Social Security Numbers, and all the other information listed for the NICS check.

Great idea. Let's open a database that walks bad guys to peoples homes to rob.

Thanks Walmart
