The mask really slips when they mention Fred Meyer (the grocery chain)'s PR about no longer selling guns, as if that has any measurable effect on the gun economy

Unfortunately Reuters and AP have picked up the Fox/CNN style habit of speculatively including other current event stories to support a specific narrative while ignoring other information more relevant to the story - such as Remington's recent management and manufacturing issues.

Calling Fred Meyer a grocery chain is like calling Walmart a grocery chain. They're essentially a department store with a decent-sized grocery department.

It depends on where you are. The AZ version - Fry's - is almost 100% grocery. Whereas other parts of the country I've seen their stores be close to 50/50

The ones I've been in are roughly 60% grocery store.
