The danger of a knife is greater than the danger of letting people walk around naked in the store. Should Wal-Mart either adopt the second policy, or refuse to sell knives?

Yes.

I voted No/No.  Looks like Yes/No is the winner.  Or Diebold rigged the vote Smiley

Personally, I would go with no/no as well. Of course they have the right to sell what they want, but that's just my personal opinion.

I believed that Wal-Mart was in the business of selling the necessities and incidentals of life (food, clothing, hardware, etc.) at bargain basement prices. In some parts, a gun qualifies as a necessity; in others parts, a nice incidental piece of hardware used for sport and recreation. I see no harm in it.

That goes for the sex recreation as well: Wal-Mart sells lubricants and such as well, in addition to condoms.

So I don't see what you're complaining about, unless your imagination is so impoverished that you cannot use the sex items Wal-Mart offers without printed stimulation.

word.

By the way, I had been under the impression that Wal-mart offers guns through mail order only and not off the shelves. At least this was the case several years ago. Is this no longer the case?

I never noticed them in the wal-mart store just north of Revere, Massachusetts, but then I wasn't really looking for them.  I have noticed them in other stores though.  I'm trying to remember if I ever saw them in the SFbay stores or the columbus store I frequented, but honestly I can't remember. 

Depends on the store I suppose.
