KMART'S BLUE LIGHT
TURNS TO RED FOR HANDGUN OWNERS
****TIME FOR A BOYCOTT****
Kmart, one of the nation's largest firearm retailers, announced yesterday
that it will no longer sell handgun ammunition at its stores. The retailer
said this new policy will be implemented over the next 90 days, but the
complete phase-out will depend on how long it takes for stores to sell
their existing stocks. Kmart has been under pressure from anti-gun
extremists to stop selling firearms for some time, and while the company
claims it has been reviewing the issue of firearm and ammunition sales for
some time, this decision was announced one day after company executives
met with "gun control" advocates. It is disappointing to see a company
such as Kmart cave-in to pressure from a tiny minority of anti-gun
extremists, especially considering this is the same chain that fired Rosie
O'Donnell as its spokesman in 1999, shortly after the hypocritical talk
show host launched her infamous all-out assault on America's law-abiding
gun owners. But other firearm retailers are likely happy to hear there
will be one less business against which they must compete. The nation's
largest retailer, Wal-Mart Stores Inc., indicates it has no intention of
following Kmart's lead, and many gun owners are already indicating they
will no longer frequent Kmart for any shopping needs because of its
decision. If you wish to contact Kmart to comment on this decision, you
can call 1-866-KMART 4 U (1-866-562 7848), or you can send e-mail to
