My favorite example of a drunk gun grabber...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJmFEv6BHM0

"large capacity clips on military-style weapons;"

If you're going to establish policy, perhaps you should be at least capable of knowing what you're talking about? Clips? Military-style? seriously?

OK....I admit I did not do a lot of comparison shopping. I haven't purchased a lot of ammo over the past couple of years. I accumulated an appropriate cache and have just sat on it. Will "shop" for my next purchase.

Walmarts decision on not to sell handgun ammunition or AR platform firearms will help the small privately-owned gun shops here in Az. It's cheaper to purchase ammo on-line in particular for individuals owning small-caliber handguns (I have a collection of them).

Bob, I tend to stay away from CTD, as they got a pretty bad rep for raising the ammo prices during the Obama era Ammo Shortage. Many other vendors kept the same prices or raised them a bit...CTD was way out of line. I was able to pick up ammo at Walmart at that time, as long as I got up early. The guys that didn't get up early ordered from CTD and payed the price. It is perfectly within their right to make as much of a profit as possible, based on what the market could bare, but it just knocked them off my list is all.

All this hub-bub only makes for profit at local gun shops. Anticipate the big stores to suffer the way malls have recently as they continue to push an agenda on an unwilling public.

Time for Walmart to go the way of Dicks!

Sam will be turning over in his grave.

I am extremely disgusted with WalMart, very glad I own no stock or I would sell it. They are about to hit hard times, as almost everything comes to China that they sell. They will raise prices, people will not care, and the anti-gun stance will seal it. Personally, i know some of our car group carry, and I am actually glad when I see them in WalMart, as I feel safer. I am NRA, but do not carry, except for pepper spry (from WalMart) and a just legal knife. At home, I guess ammo will come from online sources, since WalMart likes liberals so much. They likely are also uninformed about the folly of Green Stolen Deal as well.

The latest tack of the left is to scrap the people's day to day Constitutional protections in every way except on paper. If you are shamed or intimidated into self-censorship, you have lost your 1st amendment rights. If you cannot obtain ammunition or a weapon, you have lost your 2nd amendment.

Something amazing about holding an infant - especially your own, I agree! My oldest are just barely college-age now. No marriage proposals yet, but my wife and I agreed to set our tax refund aside this year just in case...

I love these companies making such decisions. They are following the leads from all the Fake News outlets and believing this is what the American People want just because Fake News tells them so. Oh, the surprise they will get when our President gets re-elected in an absolute landslide victory and these fools learn they have been fed a line of Fake Lies by their Fake Media outlets.
Too bad we can't do what the UK just did and toss every one of our RINO critters right out of our republican party. The sports sections of my local Walmart stores are lucky if they have a clerk who knows how to even open the locked AMMO case. It's usually the person from the kids toy section doing double duty covering both areas. What Walmart deserves is empty shelves in the ammo cabinets and even emptier shelves throughout the entire store when they can't get all the Chinese crap they dump to us because of the tariffs. I will gladly pay a little more and support my local smaller shops before I enter the Zoo called Wally World.

Palmetto State Armory is awesome as well: https://palmettostatearmory.com/

They are protecting themselves against legal problems, since their stores seem to be affected a lot by crazy shooters. Also, they are just removing themselves from the whole political correctness issues surrounding guns. Eventually all guns will be banned as the leftists gain control, but currently we can still buy them elsewhere.

Leftists want less competition so they can slam capitalism

I actually based that answer on replies/comments I saw on the Walmart Facebook page.

To an individual, the "keep my baby safe" comments were the ONLY positive reactions, but there were a lot of them. Regional? I really don't know. I do, however, hope that Walmart gets their butts handed to them for this stupid move.

I am of the thought that women don't regain their mental faculties after childbirth for some years. (Hey, been there twice, and until I held my first, I didn't fully understand how a person would be willing - or able - to kill another human being.) My youngest is 45 and I am not 100% sure I have completely recovered.... Yes, fathers feel the same way, but their thoughts tend to be (I think) "Let me have that gun so I can protect my family," rather than "Walmart, you need to protect us."

They are just acting accordance with leftist political correctness, and defending themselves against lawsuits. They could care less about the 2nd amendment, as they know that guns are readily available other place as is ammunition

Online can be a good choice, too.

I have bought a lot of ammo from Georgia Arms in the past at gun shows. Very good quality ammo.

"It was worth it" to lose nearly 2% of gross revenues in a highly competitive market. Whatever you say...

Here is an article on it: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articl...

They did, and they lost a lot of money because of it. Like "Democratic Socialism" and those that are pitching it, Walmart probably thinks they can do it better.

You may have a point. Would be interested to see if there actually is any sentiment in that direction. I'm betting that such sentiments are very regional, however, rather than general.

You're forgetting the "Mom" contingent. "Keep my baby safe, to heck with the Constitution." Of course, it won't keep the baby safe, but hey, details....

Yes, which for them was an even worse decision given their business model. And yes, they got pummeled as customers pulled their business.
