Really, if you are not going to kill someone is there a worry about being video taped? Hell, I know guys that film themselves boneing a cougar, why should this bother them.

 

[Calif. Hunter]

Just like the college and school shooters who videotape and/or photograph themselves in their "assault outfits"?

Let's see how this works - the cops ID the gun and/or shooter - they would have to in order to know the gun was bought at Walmart, right? So now they have a videotape of the purchase. How does this help? More proof that the gun was his? How did they ID him or the gun in the first place? I guess if he drops the gun there, then the video is proof that it belonged to him.

Walmart will probably screw that up. They don't sell guns in CA since they screwed up there. So unless they beef up the brainpower in the dept they're just blowing smoke. (no offense meant to any of you Wally World emps)

It's kinda silly, you have to give a fingerprint so if they video tape they will see the poor guy that had his rifle stolen or someone who gives bogus information to the person who doesn't know his tail from a hole in the ground.
