Maybe it is because a majority of people tend to shop at Walmart.

Where I live most of the people who shop at Walmart are the low income people and the larger percentage of low income colored people shop there. I am not saying rich and upper middle class do not shop there but poor people are the majority.

Perhaps the Walmart he wanted to shoot people at had a majority of colored people. What they found did point to white supremacy.

The alternative are a pair of HEBs, the dominant supermarket in South Texas. The funny thing is that I think these guys are too chicken to step foot in the Latino supermarket chains.

Owning a gun no matter who or what you are? Not having to post bail if you plan on doing a violent crime? No ID to know you are a felon when buying guns? White supremacy being accepted in Texas?

I say something like this because we have been hearing and seeing bills that will make this very easy to do legally in Texas.

This person is not a very good person with some mental issues to go along. I am so glad they were able to stop it before it happened. Some lives were spared this time.

It's not Walmart, it's customers and associates or whatever nickname they use for their serfs. If it were them, they'd support gun control faster than you can say "Ronald Reagan Black Panthers open carry Mumford Act"
