Kmart's Blue Light Turns To Red
For Handgun Owners
|
"...[T]his decision was announced one day after company
executives met with 'gun control' advocates..." |
|
Kmart, one of the nation's largest firearm retailers, announced
yesterday that it will no longer sell handgun ammunition at its
stores. The retailer said this new policy will be implemented
over the next 90 days, but the complete phase-out will depend on
how long it takes for stores to sell their existing stocks.
Kmart has been under pressure from anti-gun extremists to stop
selling firearms for some time, and while the company claims it
has been reviewing the issue of firearm and ammunition sales for
some time, this decision was announced one day after company
executives met with "gun control" advocates.

"...[M]any gun owners are
already indicating they will no longer frequent Kmart for any
shopping needs..." |

It is disappointing
to see a company such as Kmart cave-in to pressure from a tiny
minority of anti-gun extremists, especially considering this is
the same chain that fired Rosie O'Donnell as its spokesman in
1999, shortly after the hypocritical talk show host launched her
infamous all-out assault on America's law-abiding gun owners.
But other firearm retailers are likely happy to hear there will
be one less business against which they must compete. The
nation's largest retailer, Wal-Mart Stores Inc., indicates it has
no intention of following Kmart's lead, and many gun owners are
already indicating they will no longer frequent Kmart for any
shopping needs because of its decision.
