Michael Bloomberg has struck a deal with Wal-Mart that will have the world’s largest retailer keeping records on guns they sell that are used in crimes.
It's a major boon for Bloomberg, who has faced obstacles getting government agencies to record and share similar information, thanks in part to opposition from the N.RA. and nation’s gun lobby.
Wal-Mart, which according to this site, no longer stocks handguns, may have good reason for teaming up with the pro-business New York mayor. The company has been unable to find a way to open an outpost in the five boroughs. Despite several aborted attempts, they're still trying.
