Walmart reverses decision to remove guns and ammo from store shelves
NBC News ^ | October 30, 2020 | Leticia Miranda

Walmart on Friday reversed its decision to take guns and ammunition from store displays in response to concerns about "isolated civil unrest."

The country’s largest retailer had asked all of its stores to move firearms and ammunition to a secure backroom area of the store out of “an abundance of caution” on Thursday, Walmart spokesperson Kory Lundberg told NBC News in an email.

But, “as the current incidents have remained geographically isolated, we have made the decision to begin returning these products to the sales floor today,” he said Friday.

The move comes four days before the presidential election, which Presidential Donald Trump has suggested he will contest in the event of a win by former Vice President Joe Biden.

The Democrats have said that they will not concede under any circumstances. But -- are we not supposed to bring that up?

It would be prudent to lock them up in democrat ran cities.

Weird. I bought the only two boxes of 20 rds 12 gage 2 3/4” #8 yesterday at our local wallys. $7.87/box. They had some 20 gage and 28 gage as well but nothing else. No weapons and only the shotgun ammo.

They’d be better off just leaving Democrat run cities entirely. Pack up all the stuff, cancel the lease, wave goodbye.

Theft and vandalism rates would drop through the floor. Open up additional locations in the suburbs and let the city people come to you in places where the police are actually on your side and have DAs that back them up.

Maybe we should open the “contest” at 30 Rock.

They’d be best off to run a sale and get rid of the inventory.

Yup or pull them entirely - why arm violent criminals. Sell ‘em outside of the cities - or open Walmart’s Gun & Ammo stand alone businesses in non-urban areas.

Walmart might as well have said “We have guns and ammo!”

Apparently one hand doesn’t know what the other is doing at Walmart - very amateurish if you ask me.

That makes perfect sense, but ...

Walmart has gone full woketard. They pledged $100 million to BLM, so let 'em burn.

Never liked #8. It’s like launching high-pressure pepper. I only ever get #4, BB, OO, and slugs

Seriously, #4 pellets are tiny, sort of like really coarse sand

They only have skeet shot shells and bolt action rifle ammo left on the shelf. And you’re not going to initiate a shooting war with the arms on display.

The only ammo they have is birdshot anyway. Big deal.
