They announced the company was going to stop selling handgun ammo back in September along with 2.223/5.56. They will be selling out of what they have in the pipeline and then only sell long gun and shotgun ammo. Not sure about stuff that can go either way like .22 but I doubt that will be included in the sellout..17 and .22 was not clearance marked.

Don’t support companies that don’t support freedom. No integrity for a 75 cent savings. Sad.Agreed. They could give it away and I wouldn't take it.

What does choosing not to sell something have to do with your freedom? Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't set foot in a Wal-Mart, but for many other reasons.

They are the biggest brick and mortar retailer in the US. By choosing not to sell ammo for semi autos they are effectively limiting the availability to many communities. Since the government can’t ban them this is a work around, a politically motivated decision. The anti gun lobby is chipping away at the 2nd amendment anyway possible, if you don’t hit them back where it hurts, the bottom line, the slide will continue. Anyone or institution that doesn’t support the constitution and related amendments is the enemy of the people and freedom.Well said

Well stated. A side thought I have which some of which is stated above relates directly to our WDFW and good reason for sportsman to hit there pocket book by not supporting fishing/hunting licenses for a few years. Yes do not purchase licenses for a few years and make em squirm.

Walmart to support local gun stores by not selling handgun ammo.
Sure it it is a bad decision for sales but it ultimately helps small gun stores.
I talked to a gun store owner who said that people will actually complain about his prices being a whopping dollar over wal-mart.
I just don't see why I should stop buying groceries there. It's not like Safeway has always sold ammo or something.

The small gunshops might or might not be organized into a groups that have an effective lobby. I'd guess they are involved with NRA and maybe some sporting organizations--which are mostly entertained by Republican lawmakers. A corporate store like WalMart might have more influence on both parties (Hillary :puke: used to be on their board.) So, with WalMart not carrying a product, does that support of the 2A now decline. Does it make the issue even more partisan?

I have bought most of my ammo at Bi Mart. Thier sales are awesome! Online Midway USA has treated me pretty good.
