Walmart ends all handgun ammunition sales and asks customers not to carry guns into stores - CNN
New York (CNN Business)Walmart on Tuesday announced it will reduce its gun and ammunition sales, one month after more than 20 people were killed in a mass shooting at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas. Walmart also pressured Congress to enact gun safety measures.
The company, America's largest retailer, said it will stop selling handgun ammunition and ammunition commonly used in assault-style weapons after selling all of its current inventory. Walmart (WMT) will also stop selling handguns in Alaska, the only state where it still sells handguns. And Walmart will request that customers no longer openly carry guns into its 4,700 US stores, or its Sam's Club stores, in states that allow open carry.
"It's clear to us that the status quo is unacceptable," Walmart CEO Doug McMillon said in a memo to employees on Tuesday.

So much for them. I support my LGS anyway.
Also looks like 223/5.56 is gone
They had good prices on the 200 rd box of federal brass... Also had good prices on American eagle .223
Oh well time to support others stores.

Walmart to stop Alaska handgun sales, end sales of short-barrel rifle and handgun ammo nationwide
I was just in the Albion Wally world getting my hunting tags, guy told me that they are stopping all pistol ammo and .223/5.56 ammo sales. I nicely explained how stupid his employer was, he wasn't friendly while I explained the PCC, or the fact I have a couple bolt gun in .223. then I asked what about .22RF? I left him befuddled but he wasn't the brightest bulb. Not sure he understood when I said I know it's not you but dumbass Walmart looking like idiots.
So fuck Walmart anyway.

Down here in Wastechester, it'll be a lot harder for people to acquire reasonably priced ammunition if they do not want to purchase cases of ammo from their LGS.
For anyone that thinks this move is going to hurt WM bottom line, you clearly dont understand walmart as a store
Dicks is a sporting goods store, they make a portion of their sales in firearms related sporting purchases.
Walmart has kind of an isle for guns and ammo and sometimes there is someone around to get that ammo out of the case for you because they dont care it's not big portion of sales in any way shape or form

Yep, the left wants everyone to hate Walmart and worked hard at it for years. Looks like W is working at it in a most curious way. Too bad, never bought ammo there, but its too bad all the same. We are losing.

I understand that. One of the few reasons I go there is to swing through the sporting goods section while I go grocery shopping. Everything I buy there I can get at Aldi's, BJs or other stores. That is what will happen from now on.
Yeah, assuming you HAVE a LGS to go to. With more and more of them closing their doors, what is left for those with no where to go, and who cannot buy online because of draconian laws?
Even if you don't like WM, they've kept ammo prices low at other places through competition. I don't love them and ammo is one of the few things I buy there. It really sucks they are going to stop selling it. I have no other place to buy where it's this cheap and convenient.
I just put a good dent in the 9mm stock at my local store.

I think they think it could not happen to them. its a small portion of their overall sales but I will no longer renew my hunting license there or any shotgun ammo.

The slow chipping away plan is working closing small mom and pop stores by passing out of this world legislation that requires them to spend money they don't or will ever have raising insurance premiums installing high tech security system eliminating signage of store front being near school zones I'm sure on line sales is going to become more difficult than it's is now even if you reload and pretty soon that will be eliminated also it's just a matter of time and the local shops that remain will be made to raise prices that only the privilege will afford a comedian once said the way to control shootings was by making it expensive when it came to $10.000 a bullet
