“Employees at Remington Arms ammo plant in Arkansas were told today of Walmart’s cancellation of orders...”
Even if true, Remington will not have any problem at all selling to other outlets...and Remington can charge what are now market prices for their product - rather than being locked into near-zero margins with Walmart (as they do with all their suppliers).
I cannot think of a BIGGER GIFT to the US arms industry than to set them free to charge market prices, giving them money to upgrade and expand their operations.
As to Walmart...they know their customer base is the Red States...so they know they are pushing things to join the president in his gun-grabbing crusade.
You are correct - Remington being freed of Walmart’s shackles is a good thing... thought they have been a relatively steady source of orders, even when ammo sales have been more normal”.
And yes, they won’t have any issues selling whatever they can make and send out the door - shelves are empty at every sporting goods store I have been to. Big chains, and small mom & pop places all are clamoring for ammo.
But it should disturb us that there is even a bit of truth to the world’s largest retailer falling in line to President Obama’s Marxist maneuvers.
