Why is Walmart doing the right thing?
Because you, the average American fed up with the stupidity of our nations gun laws, want Walmart to do the right thing.
Good luck trying to get Congress to enact even the most widely supported gun reforms. Congress does not answer to you. Congress answers to the gun lobby, with its tens of millions of dollars to throw around. It answers, as well, to a relative minority of gun-defending extremists who control Republican primaries in red states and thanks to gerrymandering congressional districts.
But Walmart, in its way, answers to you. You can shop there or not. You can work there or not. You can buy its stock or not.

Walmart: Darling of the leftist media.
Laughable. Between this and all the Chinese crap backlash, they are looking at some serious pain in their future. I predict.
I thought the left didn’t like Wal-Mart.
BTW, I’m not too worried about wal-mart’s policy on guns. Most of the guns in my area are purchased at the myriad of small gun shops. And the ammo is usually bought in bulk at these same shops or online.
I would think that Walmart getting out of the ammo or even the gun business entirely would be a Godsend for smaller gun stores. The return of Mom and Pop.
The real question is, when WalMart retreats, will others follow?
This will end about as well for WalMart as Jeb Bush figuring he could insult his base and win the nomination.
Same here and most small towns across TN. Kroger has gone to carry Conceal but not banned carrying.
Walmart did not lead. SEARS, Montgomery Wards, K-Mart,Penneys, Woolworths, OG&E, TG&Y, Target, all sold guns then quit selling them decades ago.
Where are they now? Only Target and Penneys are still around on tottery legs.
Caballas and all the independent sporting stores thank you. Its not a matter of price, its freedom to purchase. Gun owners will turn to loading at home if it gets too expensive.
-does that include .30-30 for the "short barrelled" Winchester or Marlin cqrbines---and "pistol cartridges"--??
--the ignorance of this guy boggles the mind---
Actually, this will just help Tractor Supply and Rural King stores. The market abhors a vacuum.
Ever since the website “http://www.peopleofwalmart.com/" came into existence, I have seen no good reason at all to actually go to a Walmart store.
Now, even less of a reason for me to shop at Walmart
Haven’t been back since I observed a Deuce that someone dropped on a main entrance aisle inside the store. U F B!
Better prices than Walmart and better selection. They sell decent firearms too.
Actually, this will just help Tractor Supply and Rural King stores. The market abhors a vacuum.
Today it’s Walmart. Tomorrow it will be Tractor Supply. They came for the communists, etc., etc...
I despise those things.
So.....
When is the big gun and ammo liquidation sale at Wally World? Theres a Marlin lever action Ive been eyeing at the local one.
