it’s interesting how they got to this target as conclusion.

for places that don’t ban guns, every walmart would have them with minimal barriers for buying.

like what steam does for games, maybe it’s because these guns are that easy to acquire to begin with?

I’m not so sure Walmart sells guns any more. They don’t in my area and I live in a very gun friendly area. They just seem to sell air rifles and hunting accessories.

They don’t sell them online, but they do still sell them in stores. They only stopped selling some guns and some types of ammo.

From the horse’s mouth:
