      Friend of mine was playing Cyberpunk 2020 and needed a shotgun in-game. He decided that since his character didn’t have a record yet, he would go buy one at wal-mart.

      It’s the dystopian future. Of course there’s wal-mart.

      No one foresaw that wal-mart would stop selling firearms.
