A search for any gun-related product at every Walmart location in the US, found that 58% of supercenters and legacy Walmarts sell at least one of three weapons that make up the majority of the firearm inventory: a āRemington 870 Express Shotgun,ā a āStevens Model 320 Field Shotgunā and a āSavage Axis Rifle, .223 Rem.ā Many sell all three. Those 2,297 gun-selling locations are highly concentrated in non-urban areas and do not appear at all in several states, including California and New Jersey, where state laws or political pressure have chased all lethal weapons from Walmartās shelves.
Two are shotguns and the other is a bolt action rifle. NO SEMIAUTOMATICS!!!!!
They only sell hand guns in Alaska. And to make the country a safer place, they don't sell the dangerous water guns which resemble military weapons! They might cause death if a snowflake had an apoplectic fit by seeing one.
The NICS background check can take up to 3 days (longer if there is a potential problem), but can take as little as a few minutes. And since Oregon has no imposed waiting time, YES a gun might be purchased at Walmart within minutes. But ONLY one of the three listed above unless you live in Alaska. And even there, no semiautomatics are sold.

Ok so you agree with me. I really don't care for semi automatic rifles.--They jam don't feed right and must be kept spotless to operate. I have bolt actions a lever action and a pump shotgun. Love them all and they are trouble free. Banning semi autos won't change a thing. Much more strict and highly researched background checks would help in some cases. That is my gripe about the background check. 5 minutes is the longest I have had to wait. Pistols do take 3 days.
