BREAKING NEWS:  WALMART BANS FIREARMS SALES FOR FIVE DAYS


The headline says it.  Walmart has internally communicated to its stores a five day ban on firearms sales.

Sales are cutoff at point of sale, at the registers.

Glenn Beck, of all people, was talking about a "dictatorship" last week involving Congressional leadership.

I have no disagreement with the notion of Ryan, McConnell, Pelosi and Schumer being "dictators" but their Uniparty dictatorship is ultimately backed by big corporations like Walmart and big banks as well.

All the "memos" come off to me like some sort of distraction from what's really going on in this country.

Walmart's decision will be defended by some as a legitimate decision of a private business but because business seems to run government as I believe is the case I see this as a de facto government decision to end firearms sales and a way of nudging the debate in government quarters.

Walmart and other big business interests stopped states from enacting religious freedom legislation to protect gay marriage dissenters back in 2015.

Indiana's then governor now Vice-President Mike Pence caved under pressure from Tim Cook and Apple among others.

As one considers the insanity that leads to mass shooting and mass murder inevitably government controls are seen as a solution with religious values brought up by some.  President Trump has spoken of a "mental health problem".

VP Pence called "just wrong" some anti-religious comments about him by Joy Behar ("The View" on ABC)  comparing "talking to Jesus" to mental illness.

As a "Fundamentalists Anonymous" Christian I don't like the arguments between religious people like Pence who are part of a corrupt world and anti-religious zealots who are part of a corrupt world.

I read about connections between anti-depressants and mass shooters, about child pornography and mass shooters.

I can't get angry and demand government go after that stuff either, much less firearms.

But may I humbly suggest the world is filled with a lot of insanity fueled by drugs, alcohol and pornography and dare to suggest the best I can do and you can do is to literally keep our lives clean, sane and sober through application of truth embodied in the 12 Steps.
