On so many levels.

I personally don't know that song, but now want to buy it on I-tunes just to make a statement, (although I don't really buy stuff like that to make statements, I'd rather give that dollar to an anti-gun rights group).

And while I have no use for Wal Mart. The shelves there belong to Wal Mart and they get to decide what goes on those shelves. You may disagree with their choices and are free to shop for that particular product elsewhere or to do all of your shopping elsewhere.

They make a business decision with each product they put on their shelves and You make one with each one you buy from either them or their competition.

I avoid Walmart. They bully their vendors as well as their employees. But in the end, it is a business decision what they will or will not sell.
