The battleship ammo they sold at Walmart was pretty marginal anyway. Just the usual red-box American Eagle junk.

True, but I could usually get an employee to help me carry it out to my deuce and a half rather than lugging it myself. Also, the regular cannon shops are too cliquish for my tastes.

Well, I wouldn't use it for serious shelling or anything, but it was a great way to stock up for live-fire exercises.

If you polled a randomly selected group of American gun owners, I'd wager somewhere in the region of 60% would say that the reason Wal-Mart doesn't sell 14-inch shells any more is the Democrats.

The real culprits, of course, are the aliens.

To be fair, that kind of thing usually is because of Democrats, if only by default (because no Republican has the slightest interest in any regulation whatsoever of that kind, and those of us who are unaligned may as well not exist, politically speaking).

If Walmart do not want King George's business then King George will take her business elsewhere!

My first thought, considering the subforum, was "oh no, what depressing increase of entropy happened now?"

My second thought is that in the Kancolle universe, Wal-Mart would totally carry battleship ammo.

A ship recognition guide and Shipgirl interaction policy was added to the CBL library after a Loss Prevention associate got in the way of Iowa while she was conducting an "underway replenishment" exercise in Store #2287, which resulted in the associate getting body-checked into low Earth orbit

"This is probably a stupid question, but . . ."

What a way to go, though.

Yup. Almost as big guns as Yamato... and depending on which source, maybe a lot less clothes.
