I buy most of my ammo online from places like Midway or Sportsmansguide. Even with shipping costs my purchase is typically cheaper than Walmart, plus tax, plus gas. NO need for Walmart.

Under Tiahrt, they can't. They aren't law enforcement. So it makes a wonderful sound bite but the devil is always in the details. Unless Mayor Bloomberg is going to "assist" them through law enforcement under his control. Which raises an interesting point: Can a private entity establish their own list of gun owners? Under 18 USC 926(a), any government or government entity cannot. But if you're a gun shop, can you take the info from a 4473 and make your own private gun registry? For what purpose? What are the legal protections against that list being turned over voluntarily to law enforcement for any reason?

They hope to be able to consolidate all of your purchases in their huge-o-mungous database (usually the largest one in the world, or at least the non-gov world, in the annual rankings) even if you use cash. They will be able to connect all of your credit/debit cards and checking accounts together by knowing who you are. This gives them some incredibly useful data for marketing purposes.

Perhaps this will create an opportunity for mom and pop gun shops to flourish. “The other thing that really upsets me about this is that it puts a lot of rural gun owners in a bind - thanks to Wal-Mart’s effectiveness at putting mom-and-pop shops out of business…”
