[Gunaria]

Holy Lord it's gonna be a gouger's paradise now.

Ha, I merged two threads and it puts each post in chronological order to form one thread. If i messed something up let ma know.

Ah, gotcha! That's pretty cool, did not know that was possible. I hate dupes.

hmmm lets remain calm.

just saying. It appears someone on the AR15 forums who claims to work for Wal mart says this is bogus. We might want to wait and see whats up. I am all about the anger, but we should use it for the right things, and in the right way.

i had a dept manager from an alaska store tell me this is real the other night. didnt believe her then but it seems to add up now.

I, too, heard it on the radio earlier today but like others, I think it's driven solely by the wait-and-see attitude. Walmart doesn't want to submit orders for all the ammo only to find out that the clown-in-chief changes the law such that Walmart can't sell and now they're stuck with millions of dollars of inventory.

Once they know more, they'll make a decision. This is not an anti-2A action on their part, it's strictly a decision point.

Walmart has not stopped trying to make a buck. I have heard this on the radio and read the article and I have not seen anything saying wal-mart will stop selling ammo. Just simply that they will not order anymore until they know what if any will be banned. Seems logical to me. They do not want to end up stuck with a bunch ammo that has to be destroyed because they ordered a bunch on monday and it became illegal on friday.
I do believe that our gun and sporting goods store's should stand with us for this fight. Wal-mart is not a gun store nor are they a sporting goods store. As they always do they will stand with their money.
Kinda makes me wonder with Wal-mart execs just coming out of a big meeting with Biden if they just might know something we do not yet know.

This is the first i've heard of any potential ammo ban?

Got some 9 mm at lunch time today

If I had known this, maybe I should asked if they would suspend their 2box limit

If nobody is worried about ammo being banned then why can you not buy any?

As I said in my post if you had bothered to read all the way through it maybe Wal-Mart exec's know something we do not. I cannot see them making taking a political stance by pulling ammo off the shelves just for fun. There has to be some reason.

Does WM know something we don't? The recording of the call I heard to them the rep says "according to the federal gun control act, the new law the president is getting ready to enact". How would he know what is going to happen?

That's exactly my thought. Something is wrong here.

Funny how the Walmart in Plymouth just started selling evil black rifles a few months ago. Now they are pulling the plug on everything. They currently have a Ruger American bolt in .308 in stock. It has a sign on it "Hold not for sale pending some BS" The same gun in .270 is ok to sell.

 

[Pinchaser]

It's nothing short of amazing how many on this forum sit up nights trying to think of new ways to fabricate or sensationalize.

WalMart has not said they will no longer sell ammo. Period.

 

[LANShark42]

Do you people have ANY idea the power Walmart holds over its vendors? THEY BEND THEM OVER BACKWARDS! And the vendors all say "Thank you sir! May I have another!"

Walmart isn't going to get caught flat footed in ANY way when it comes to merchandising. If it comes to the point that they have stock they can't legally sell, the vendors will come crawling to them to pick it up and give them credit for it.


Maybe it's time I put that bridge I've been holding onto into the classifieds...

 

[chubbs]

I hate walmart as much as the next red blooded american, but I did always like that they did keep ammo prices in check. Gun shops will love this news, let the extreme gouging begin

 

[Giddaltti]

I just talked to sales guy he said that when he scanned the bar codes he got a return message of out of stock. I have yet to see any 9mm.

 

[TWS]

I'm no economics expert, but if wal-mart did quit, wouldn't that dump all that ammo into the small businesses? Privately owned hardware stores, gun shops, etc.etc.? Promoting small business growth?

 

[GoNavy]

as soon as any bills regarding ammo does NOT get thru congress they will start selling again. they are just trying to make a positive public image to people who think guns are evil

 

[BehindBlueI's]

I guess I could boycott Wal-mart, but since I haven't bought anything from them since about 2001, I doubt they'd notice.

 

[venenoindy]

It is true no more ammo sales after the sale current inventory.
