Now this just ticked me off
Was at Lebanon Valley Mall today stopped in Walden books to look for a book I've been wanting to read. Found it there, (I hate paperback books, like 'real' books ). Was waiting in line to buy a book at the checkout and decided to check out the gun magazines before paying.... well there are NONE, not even a damned hunting magazine.
They have all sorts of different porno magazines, magazines glorifying the use of illegal drugs, bunches of teen slut magazines and everything else you can think of.
So I asked when I got back to the register to buy the book,
'How come you guys don't have any gun magazines?'
She told me - 'because gun magazines lead to higher crime, but sometimes we get hunting magazines in the fall' as she smiled and held her arm out for the book I had.
WTF? Put the book on the counter along with one of my 'NO Guns = NO $$$$ cards and left. There wasn't no way in hell I was gonna buy that book there after that comment. Gonna send a bitch letter off to the corporate headquarters as well. To hell with Walden BooksHonesta Mors Turpi Vita Potior ~ 3%

I thought Walden`s was now Borders and I thought that is where I look up gun prices in their gunbook section. Does Border`s sell gun rags>

Im guessing they push for the teens to be sluts and to use the drugs and hey look for those that are out of their teens, Come be a porn star,But God forbid they put up a gun magazine. My thoughts are drugs, lead to higher crime, Guns they are just metal n wood and cant do damage by themselves,But who am i to say.Im just an ower of plastic and metal that goes bang when i squeeze the trigger..

Make sure that when you send a letter to corporate, you leave open the possibility that the clerk was full of bullshit.
It could have simply been a case of following the market. If people didn't buy many gun magazines, it wouldn't make sense to stock them. Unaware of the complexities of marketing, the clerk may have interjected her personal opinion to fill in what she doesn't understand.
Kind of like how so many Wal-Mart employees and customers believe that their stores stopped carrying guns because Wal-Mart hates the Second Amendment and sponsors Barack AdHominem AdHominem Obama's hordes of gay atheist Muslims who break into peoples' homes and destroy their Traditional American Family Values and steal their guns, which they then use to shoot fetuses, smuggle Spanish-speaking people across the border to take jobs away from Americans, and force high school kids to take condoms to their proms. When in fact it was merely a decision based on the decline in gun sales at many Wal-Mart stores that made it no longer cost-effective to stock the guns.Safety is a good tool for tyrants; no one can be against safety.

I got the same bullshit at the CVS pharmacy in Hanover. First off I hate going to the pharmacy and waiting to get the fucking prescription filled. CVS in Hanover used to carry gun mags so the wait was much more bearable. The last 2 or three times I went in I notice they don't carry hunting, shooting, or anything even related but they got more body building and diet magazines than you can shake a stick at. Now I just phone in the refill or drop off a new script and come back later.

I also noticed this at a Walden in Harrisburg. Didn't bother to ask, figured it was something stupid like that. Porn is fine, guns be damned. Maybe if we told them the gun mags are our porn, they would get some.
