Default Wal-Mart to Film Gun Sales in Bid to Fight Crime

Hmmmm, anything wrong with this? Don't they film every other kind of sale in their stores?

----------------------------------------------------------------
Wal-Mart to film gun sales in bid to fight crime
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Wal-Mart Stores Inc, the world's largest retailer, unveiled plans on Monday to film its gun sales in the United States and create a computerized log of purchases in a bid to stop guns falling into the wrong hands.

Wal-Mart, which is the largest seller of firearms in the United States, agreed a 10-point code, which also includes rigid inventory controls, with a bipartisan coalition of Mayors Against Illegal Guns led by New York's Michael Bloomberg.

The retailer said it will develop a first-of-its-kind computerized crime gun trace log that will flag purchases by customers who have previously bought guns later recovered in crimes.

"Wal-Mart currently uses a strong point of sale system," said J.P. Suarez, senior vice president and chief compliance officer of Wal-Mart. "This code is a way for us to fine-tune the things we're already doing and further strengthen our standards. We hope other retailers will join us."

The Responsible Firearms Retailer Partnership is designed to strengthen the points in the gun purchasing system that criminals have exploited in the past, Wal-Mart and the Mayors Against Illegal Guns said.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, 46 percent of its criminal gun trafficking investigations involved cases in which someone who is not legally allowed to purchase a firearm does so through the use of a proxy, known as a straw buyer.

The H&K? The USP series began production in 1993. If you're referring to that particular gun, I have no idea since it was just a pic from google.

How about the Equinox versions? Those things are pure sex



The P226 Blackwater is pretty cool too.

Here's a cute one for the kiddies.

Beretta U22 Neos
The latest high tech offering from the legendary Italian gun maker Beretta. A nicely balanced little pistol with small but ergonomically shaped grips ideal for younger hands. This gun is not only very accurate but also very fast to acquire the target due to the electronic red dot sight which enables the shooter to shoot with both eyes open and shoot more “instinctively”. A very popular pistol with the juniors.



Weight: 1.02 kg (empty)
(1.15 kg with red dot sight)
Calibre: .22LR
Capacity: 10 rounds

P220 Equinox - $1,143

The P226 Blackwater isn't listed on Sigarms.com anymore, but I think it was about the same price as the equinox.

These are a lot of fun too! Deadly accurate and a much better home defense weapon when I'm doozy waking up in the middle of the night to go see what that loud noise was. I mounted 2 large spot lights on mine and a laser, made some extended 30 rnd .45 clips - works like a charm!

I'd love to have a supressor, but I just can't see spending $200 just for the blasted tax stamp on them.

It would have come in handy back in Iowa though. There were alot of critters I'd like to have taken out in relative silence.

That looks like the gun I had in 7th grade to shoot ducks with. Only mine was gray with a red trigger, and had a cord attached to it.

Here it is...



Sweeeeeeeet!
