What? Guns don’t kill people, confederate flags kill people! The only time I feel the need for a semi-automatic weapon is when I’m shopping at Walmart.

Walmart said the decision was unrelated to high-profile incidents involving the rifles, including the killing of 26 students and adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut in 2012. “This is done solely on what customer demand was,” said company spokesman Kory Lundberg. “We are instead focusing on hunting and sportsman firearms.” “Trinity Church is very pleased to hear that WalMart will no longer sell the kinds of weapons that have caused such devastation and loss in communities across our country,” Reverend William Lupfer, the church’s rector, said in a statement. I guess Wal-Mart cares about Churches, no surprise there. “Modern Sporting Rifles are extremely popular with an estimated 10 million of them in the hands of Americans since 1990.

However; the Marlin 30-30, it’s been in the case since X-mas, has been calling my name. Trouble is; I already have a perfectly fine deer rifle
