WASHINGTON (AP) - Wal-Mart, the nation's largest seller of firearms, is striking a deal with outspoken gun control advocate New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg on tighter standards for such sales.
Bloomberg is announcing the initiative Monday as he meets with Mayors Against Illegal Guns, a group he founded to try to crack down on the unlawful traffic in weapons that are often used in crimes.
Under the group's Responsible Firearms Retailer Partnership, Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (WMT) will agree to retain records of all sales in which guns are later found to be used in crimes, said mayoral spokesman Jason Post. The company will also conduct background checks on employees who handle guns.

Our local Walmart doesn't even handle guns.

Wait a minute... how will they know which records to keep BEFORE the guns are used in a crime? I guess this means they'll keep ALL of the records! I'm glad they don't keep records of their firearms transactions now... oh, wait... each store that sells firearms is already required by law to keep transaction records (bound books) indefinitely.
Isn't this really just a bunch of self-serving, meaningless bullshit to buy Wal-Mart some good PR among the ignorant liberal elites who hate them? "Muffy, call the broker and go long on Wal-Mart, there's a good girl! We can invest in them now without having to apologize to the faculty club."
