As part of the announcement they should have included how this move would have with utmost surety prevented the Walmart shooting.

Good thing we have 9mm and 45 rifles, so those will still be available. (sarc off)

Yeah, because GUNS don’t kill people, ... Ammunition does.

And given their board makeup along with this useless "common-sense, American value" virtue signaling, cringing, ass of a CEO... not surprising at all.

Never bought ammo at walmart, but just because of that new policy, I’ll never set foot in walmart again. On-line too!

I can get most of what I used to get at walmart at Menards....

Many mom & pop gun gun stores that were hurt when Walmart came into their town are cheering tonight. As hunting season revs up, where are hunters going to have to go go for their ammo?

I think I only bought two rifles at Wally’s but that was long ago. I usually shop Sportsman Outdoor Warehouse or Target Ammo.

Never bought guns or ammo at Walmart. Always went to my local gun store or occasionally Ace Hardware for ammo. The atmosphere was better.

I have never spent a penny on sporting items from WalMart. I shall survive.

I suggest that EVERY FReeper email, phone & mail a letter to Wal-Mart HQ in Bentonville, AR & tell them that until/unless their new ANTI-2nd Amendment policy is PUBLICLY REVERSED & that REVERSAL is made PERMANENT that you & your family will NOT shop at Wal-Mart again.

I have done so as of 2030, 03SEP19. = Our family spends THOUSANDS of DOLLARS each year there.

The toll-free HQ number is 1-800-925-WALMART.

Yours for LIBERTY, TMN78247

We are going to lose the 2A fight. We are being outplayed by the scum left and corporate a-holes as the NRA dithers around with its head up its azz.

It’s Sam’s retarded children that are virtue signalling their way to obscurity.

I was just in Walmart the other day checking out ammo prices. Guess I’ll look at Fenix Ammunition or Ammoman now. I am not affiliated with either, but I did buy from Ammoman many years ago and it was nice to have it just shipped to your door in bulk.

This is good news for local gun stores and gunsmiths.

Those are next on the hit list.

After selling through our current inventory commitments, we will discontinue sales ...

We are virtuous, but we aren't going to lose money on either inventory we presently have or inventory we have committed to.

I could respect Walmart for their stance, they stand to lose money, after all...but...their ban does not include “hunting rifles” LOL

So, they want to have their cake and eat it as well....I knew there was a reason I dont shop there.
