They have secured a place in the minds of people as being the only place you can get anything - or, get anything conveniently, I guess. I hope there's still physical stores out there that do e.g. airsoft goods. The real "problem" is of course that consumers are then faced with real consumer prices, where they have to pay $15 for a good pair of safety glasses instead of $1.50.

Doesn't Walmart carry that airsoft stuff?
In the handful of nanny-states you're reduced to buying online for that kind of thing.

You can't even buy a slingshot at Walmart in my state.

I'm unaware of a state where Walmart can not sell safety glasses, they're used for a lot more than airsoft/paintball.
The comment I replied to said airsoft stuff, not safety glasses specifically and that's what I'm addressing. Stop being obtuse.
This is true unfortunately.
