This is an actual sensible plan that might have some impact on gun crime. It won't cause frustration for clean and legal gun buyers, and the retailer is footing the bill for it. It also means WalMart is probably reversing their "getting out of guns" trend that so many others have taken. And can you believe this decent plan came from the likes of Wally World?

Have there been many guns sold at Walmart that have been traced to gun crime? While I applaud any measure to help mitigate instances of violent crime, there's really no statistical support to Walmart's endeavor.

considering that they are THE largest gun vendor in the USA, I would say a substantial portion of their firearms might end up in the wrong hands.
Where you do have a point is that most (if any) walmarts no longer sale handguns. Rifles and shotguns tend to be used more often by us honest hunters than home invaders and parking lot thugs.

How do they find out what guns "have been used in crimes"? On that issue, I can see significant potential for confusion - buy gun, have gun stolen, go to WalMart, can't buy replacement. But I don't have problems with the in-store stuff.
BTW - down at the bottom of the article - "the mayors group is lobbying Congress... people placed on the no-fly list to be prohibited from buying firearms". Now THAT's insane!
Logic and Reason Prevail in WalMart Gun Sale Policy
You got a point, but do you want to take a chance?
