Hey! I never got a back to school gun. All I got was trapper keepers and pencils.  Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | |||

So many people can't take a joke anymore. | |||

So did someone from Walmart staff purposely put that there, or did some local yokel just snag a sign from another part of the store and set it up there as a joke? My initial thought is the latter, but either one is possible. | |||

I had a "Zorro" school bag once. I know he used a whip. _____________________________ "A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government."

Just another thing for the snowflakes to get emotional about. They have taken to twitter and other social media to ask what WalMart was suggesting as if WalMart actually sat down at a corporate level and decided that they were going to support school shootings. This comment on Facebook sums it up well:

Who knows.... maybe this is a ghetto store and you do need a gun to get to school Don't weep for the stupid, or you will be crying all day | |||

Intentional or not, it's still problematic because there's sand in my boipussy, and WalMart is evil, and something about Trump being a literal Nazi. (Don't Google "boipussy", it's exactly what you think it is)

Close to 50 years ago in Salt Lake City, it was not uncommon to see a .22 or a shotgun in the back window of a pickup truck in the student parking lot. My World History teacher worked on his deer rifle in the wood/metal shop during his lunch break, would bring it into 5th period, put it in the corner of the room before he taught class. No one cared. Now if a grade school kid fashions his fingers to look like a handgun, he is in trouble. "Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women.

I never took a rifle to school but a couple of friends and I would bring shotguns for bird hunting after classes and would leave the vehicles unlocked no less. Nobody even batted an eye.

Most likely a joke. Not unlike this.  | |||

I graduated in the 80's and would routinely have a rifle or shotgun hanging in the truck. Me and my friends would go squirrel, rabbit, whatever hunting after school. People need to lighten up a bit. I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not. | |||

looks like it's just sitting up on the turn-table thing, and not actually attached. I'm betting it was just set up there for a photo op. i chuckled, for damn sure. ____________________________ While you may be able to get away with bottom shelf whiskey, stay the hell away from bottom shelf tequila. - FishOn | |||

My High School Principal was a gunsmith and used to help us fix rifles and shotguns in the parking lot. He also excused the first 3 days of deer season as an excused absence | |||
