It was probably wrong at the start. Gun owners, in just a few months bought enough weapons and ammo to outfit China and India.
Good luck keeping up with the demand under those conditions.
IIRC, the original report was from someone who overheard a clerk attempting to order more and being told by corporate that they were not accepting any more orders for ammo.
Not that they were out, but that they wouldn’t be getting any.
That makes sense but we'll see what these businesses do to minimize the fascist wrath thrown their way
Walmarts is a smart capitalist company. They are not going to intentionally miss out on millions on the sale of legal goods. The story could have been second hand heresay.
The problem at Walmart’s ammo is that for this particular product, they haven’t much leverage in their routine “supply us first or we won’t carry” threats, so they must compete for ammo and they sell out most of any shipment within a few hours. Guess you gotta be friends with the Ammo Counter Guy.
Magpul PMAG is said to have backorders for 30 round mag’s, in excess of 1 Million units.
