Default RE: wal-mart guns

I'm on par with oldelkhunter. Walmart is hurting our economy by bringing good overseas which is directly effecting our trade dollars. There is a PBS Frontline article: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/walmart/

As I recall, 55% of the total shipments to California ports everyday are from China for Walmart stores. As for guns, Traditions Fausti hunter is a Walmart only gun. Other stores sell the hunter I model. I haven't handled the hunter I model but I hear it is superior to the Walmart only hunter. The hunter felt cheap in my hands. That is what I believe Walmart is doing, offering very cheap guns at cheap prices while also selling higher priced 'regular' models. It's an age old advertising ploy. Get the customer in first then sell them the better stuff.
