"We just hope that customers will understand the rationale behind this, that it is not an attempt to question their legal rights,''
Some states, Missouri for one, Walmart can even sell hard liquor along with beer and wine.Since WM wants to stop selling things that can be misused and cause death and injury. They should immediately stop selling beer and wine.
It’s a shame the CEO specifically jumped on the anti rights wagon. I spend a lot of money at Walmart and this will change. I normally do not do boycotting but I’m certainly decreasing the amount I spend there. If they truly supply 20% of the nations ammo sales they claim, they will feel it.
Maybe their customer base changed or we were never in it? From what I seen from fellow rights enthusiasts, we have some purchasing power...something that any company would not want to alienate.
I heard this reported on Fox News .... er, perhaps I should call it Faux News. The report said Walmart is also stopping "short-barrel" ammo.
I've never heard that phrase before. Does it mean 5.56mm. and 7.62x39 .... or something else ....
Anyone know?
Well, I'd strongly disagree with you there, although it could be a regional issue. The Wal-Marts up here sell metric crap-tons worth of ammo daily. Also, WM is consistently one of, if not, the cheapest retail (store-front) source of (most calibers of) ammo on the West Coast, particularly up in the PNW.They charged too much for ammo, and they know it. So now they are just cutting a business loss that wasn't making them much money anyway. One more straw in favor of loading more calibers for me anyway.

I go to Whole Foods whenever I need good sausage and bagels. Walmart isn't even on my radar for that. I also pick up my firearms and photography related Amazon purchases there.Did all the boycotts that were virtue signaled after they took out the handguns, ARs, firearms at some stores produce a noticeable dip in sales or profits. Are you all now shopping at Nordstrom's and Whole Foods?
The economic demographics of their customer base will probably not be affected by this. The biggest impact is a cultural message of the less than pleasant odor of the gun owner. Like being a smoker.
