Please. You can only buy hunting rifles at Wal-Mart. Hey, maybe they could sue you in France for that defamatory statement?

It seems that it was true not so long ago: http://blogs.wsj.com/corporate-intelligence/2012/12/17/wal-m...

And yeah they could sue me if they prove the diffamation i.e. that my statement was false and only stated in the attend to cause damages to WalMart.
