Walmart, the top seller of guns and ammunition in the United States, said on Wednesday it will stop carrying the AR-15 and other semiautomatic rifles at its stores because of sluggish demand.

A spokesman for the world's largest retailer said the decision was based solely on demand and was not related to recent high-profile incidents involving the rifles, including the school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, in 2012.

The announcement came on the same day two television journalists were shot and killed with a handgun in Virginia — an incident that is likely to stoke a growing debate about gun violence in the U.S.

I'll check the AR-15 forum for the REAL reason.

I've never seen it cheaper. I could build two mil-spec rifles for that price.

Won't find better quality at a cheaper price than these guys. Shipping is a little slow but whatever. If you wait for daily deals and build it yourself you could put together one for sub $400.

Next panic hits I'll make thousands and thousands

Wayne LaPierre was right, by not going after your guns they are now self-deporting. Thanks Obama!

White-on-white murder in America is out of control


"Blacks represent 13% of the population but commit 50% of the murders; 90% of black victims are murdered by other blacks," writes Time's Joe Klein, calling for "provocative" thinking on race in America. "The facts suggest that history is not enough to explain this social disaster."

Yet the disturbing truth, according to the FBI's most recent homicide statistics, is that the United States is in the wake of an epidemic of white-on-white crime. Back in 2011, the most recent year for which data is available, a staggering 83 percent of white murder victims were killed by fellow Caucasians.


This is not to say that white people are inherently prone to violence. Most whites, obviously, manage to get through life without murdering anyone. And there are many countries full of white people — Norway, Iceland, France, Denmark, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom — where white people murder each other at a much lower rate than you see here in the United States. On the other hand, although people often see criminal behavior as a symptom of poverty, the quantity of murder committed by white people specifically in the United States casts some doubt on this. Per capita GDP is considerably higher here than in France — and the white population in America is considerably richer than the national average — and yet we have more white murderers.


To understand the level of cultural pathology at work here, it's important to understand that 36 percent of those killed by whites are women — a far higher share than you see with black murderers.


Clearly, the social disaster of white violence has complicated roots. But the beginning of an answer is to admit that we have a problem. It's striking that President Obama, who's frequently found time to comment on the height of black men's waistlines, seems oblivious to this torrent of white killing. To be fair to the White House, however, it would be uniquely difficult for Obama to address this delicate issue. The real tragedy is that none of Obama's 43 white predecessors have addressed it either. Indeed, looking back on America's political iconography, there are disturbing trends toward the glorification of white violence. Peer inside the US Capitol building, and you'll find a monument to Confederate President Jefferson Davis — the leader of an insurgency that caused an unprecedented quantity of violent white deaths.


But whatever the causes or past mistakes, the important thing is to confront this important subject in the future. As we look ahead to a 2016 matchup that should give us two Euro-American major party nominees for the first time in a decade, perhaps America can finally get the debate about white violence it deserves.

:lol yeah that's the disturbing truth, not the 13% of the population being responsible for 50% of the murders.

Hey, look over there!

Why didn't you address the fact that "it's important to understand that 36 percent of those killed by whites are women — a far higher share than you see with black murderers."

Because which gender is killed more and by what race isn't the disturbing truth when 13% of the population commits 50% of the murders. Want more disturbing, break down that 13% of the population and split it by gender. What percent of murders are committed by 6.5% of that population?

No one should be required to do anything they don't want to, stupid question. Carrying wouldn't have done anything in that situation anyways.

It was snarky but on point. Obvious reaction by supremacists is "look over there at the coloreds!" and not acknowledge that 83% of whites are murdered by whites or that white on white murder claims so many female victims, quite disproportionate to black on black murders.

white on white murders, black on black murders, a huge majority in both has been the true for very long time. Like most rapes are by some known to the victim.
