I have always found the gun obsession in this country very amusing. Yet one in a while I find an example that is just outright hilarious. This is one of those. I just can't figure out what kind of "Retail Security" would need a "Small Arm" like the MG 42.

Posted by: Dave at April 23, 2003 09:10 AMWith the invading hordes closing in and the future of "retail security" in such grave danger, I think every Walmart should have a manned MG42 on their rooftop.
Posted by: Pedram M. at April 24, 2003 05:09 AMI don't know about their stores in Canada, but in the U.S. the Wal Mart sporting good sections have a very good selection of rifles and shotguns to choose from. All displayed in glass cases.
Posted by: Dave at April 25, 2003 06:32 AMI doubt they'd carry MG42's though. And for your information, the Canadian Wal-Marts don't sell guns. At least not in Toronto, where I spent most of my life at.
Posted by: Pedram M. at April 25, 2003 11:05 PM*smirk* Neat pic. (For the slightly confused: That picture is a fake. It's a parody. )
B'sides, everyone knows an MG-42 is just too unwieldly. Now, an M14, *THAT* would be sweet...
(What?? Why are you looking at me like that?? :> )
I'm not so sure about it being a parody. I did a bit of snooping around and apparently the magazine does, or let me say DID exist. Here's the cover of their second issue:
