As a simple matter of fact, if walmart sold cheap handguns in the inner city, there would be a drastic increase in murder in the inner city.
That would make walmart look bad (worse). That would be bad for the inner city.
As one who supports the right to own firearms, I tend to support deterrents to 'casual ownership,' regardless of race. The fact of the inner city is this-- there is a serious gang culture. The gang culture crosses many racial lines. The violence in the gang culture is fed by easy access to inexpensive handguns.
I boycott walmart, but I a glad they aren't selling guns in the inner city, and I think that standards of gun ownership in America should be raised for all.
