'It's called capitalism': Conservative hilariously mocked for bitter tirade against Walmart's open carry ban

It's been a full day since Walmart announced it was barring customers from openly carrying guns in their stores, and at the retail giant.

Conservative polemicist Ben Shapiro on Wednesday bitterly tweeted that it was "the Left" that somehow convinced Walmart to end open carry in its stores, rather than the fact that Walmart might not want its customers to worry about getting mowed down by a mass shooter during shopping excursions.

"The Left has found a new way of implementing policy from the top down, without the use of government: simply pressure massive corporations to do their political bidding," Shapiro wrote. "This is dangerous precedent, and adds to the continuing polarization of the country. Are we now going to have politically segregated big box stores?"

Shapiro, who has frequently touted himself as a defender of the "free market" and an opponent of "socialism," nonetheless criticized Walmart for making a business decision that was not made due to any kind of government coercion.

Because of this, Shapiro's mentions were quickly filled with sarcastic replies -- check out some of the reactions below.
