Ohh are we boycotting them too? Or do we only do that for website glitches?
Walmart sides with Bloomberg.

Kmart caved in 2009 (http://www.cbsnews.com/2100-201_162-299156.html). Don't shop at Kmart/never have so can't answer that question.
As for Target, why would we if they never sold it? Target's sporting goods section blows anyway (OK, maybe some decent camping stuff - Coleman & Gerber mainly).
This thread appears to be about the largest ammo retailer in the country taking sides with the antis, not a "glitch". Wallys appears (key word here) to be doing it intentionally as confirmed by per some local Wally employees here (anecdotal of course). Why would it work for all of their other merch but suddenly not guns & ammo?
Perhaps a good solution is to frequent our small business LGS.

Kmart is also on its last leg....I haven't shopped there since they dropped guns in my area. Anything they say about business decisions makes me laugh, because they have slowly killed themsleves for the past 15 years
Dropping guns and appliances killed Best Products too.

Akita it is working for guns and ammo. Maybe you should give it a try.

If you live in America, you are lying.
As far as the other Wal Mart bashers. Keep bashing. I'll keep buying. My family being able to eat and have the necessary accessories is worth it to me. If it werent for Wal Mart I wouldnt be able to afford to provide many of the things my family needs.

I just tried it and it shows availability for guns and ammo.
Do my best to frequent local small businesses, e.g. hardware, grocery, LGS, etc. Agree that sometimes it's impossible to avoid the big box for price, selection, convenience & availability.

I have always hated Wal-Mart, and when I've warned about going to them to save a few $$ over your local dealer, I've been called a communist and a lot of other names.
I was right. Wal-Mart loyalists were wrong. I just hope you folks have local dealers to turn to now. I'll never shop there. Ever.

You are right. Looks like they have put it back online. 3 days ago it was gone, when asked about it, Customer Service replied with the letter in the first post.
OK, will check again for Central FL (haven't tried since my original post the other day)

Thats a given. I was lucky that I had some good ones to work with though, that included a few really good looking ladies, and it was a pleasure helping them daily. Being older and considered mostly harmless when you get older is an advantage where young ladies are concerned, they give lots of hugs, and they blush and giggle when you tell them you want to marry them.

So like I said do we only boycott for website glitches?
Just tried it; still not working for the stores closest to me. Oddly, it only showed 30-30 and 12G on the web site when I used "ammunition" or "ammo" as the keywords, and just said "in stores only" with no indication of local inventory. Lots of guns listed though (also "in stores only" of course). Could be a market thing - maybe they treat us differently in the "happiest place on Earth."
Or should we just ignore the letter the OP posted?
I've got plenty of reasons not to shop at Walmart, and none of them have anything to do with China, or hurting small business, I've seen Chinese products which were better than US products, and if small businesses wanted to compete instead of complain, they would still be around.
Until last night, I didn't even know they were influenced by the Bloomberg gang, but that is good enough reason for me not to give them another chance.
The stores in my area are...congested, cluttered, and dirty.
Having to sit and wait 30 minutes to get ammo at a 8% discount isn't worth it to me either.
Like I said though, for all the people who love to hate Walmart, there are also those who love to hate, those who hate Walmart, and they would shop there even if Walmart was supporting Al-quaeda

Mine says "in stores only" then when I click on it I'm asked to select a size THEN it says if it's available or not.

If we boycott Walmart for involvement in Bloombergs group shouldn't we boycott Target for not having ammo at all? Or Sears for stopping sporting goods sales altogether? Or K-mart for dropping guns and ammo?
Yep - did that on the 30-30 (150 gr or 170 gr) and got the result described above.
Back to the point - the OP was about siding with antis and guess we're a bit off topic on what are either technicalities or intentional selective treatment. In the end, I'll stick with bulk purchases from my LGS, as Wallys is limiting # of boxes to 3 in our area IF there is anything on the shelf.
Happy shooting!
Umm...I already said I don't shop at K-Mart and haven't since they dropped guns in my area.
If Sears and Target come out and say they support Bloomberg...yeah I won't shop there either. Sears is a shell of its former self, and now they are tied to K-Mart...and their service sucks...so I hardly ever set foot there either.

And you think Target isn't anti gun? Let's see Walmart is so beholden to Bloomberg that they sell AR-15s. Target doesn't even sell TARGETS.
+1; haven't been to Sears in so many years I can't count and Kmart was always garbage so never went. Target's a different story in that they haven't taken anything from us (knowledge limitation on that one). If they do , I'll be consistent & take my $ elsewhere (see post #59).
Good point! Always wondered why that was their name…will have to look it up but suspect it has little to do with firearms, perhaps archery…
