Sam Walton is turning in his grave.

This is a very stupid decision on Walmarts part.

If some stores sell fewer guns, ammo, fishing tackle, etc, they should stock a smaller inventory, NOT remove them from the stores!

They have given in to the anti-gun, anti-hunting moonbats that hate walmart to start with.

The unions are happy, they also hate walmart. None of the groups that are delighted with this would ever shop there for anything.

All they have done is piss off the only group that will defend walmart, Republicans and Conservatives, which are also the groups that own lots of guns and hunt and fish in large numbers.

Sorry folks, I would fire whoever made this stupid decision even if they thought it best for inventory management, the dumb bassard forgot about the political side of the issue.

This thread needs a "Hot-link" for everyone to contact Walmart and explain the facts to them.

On the one hand it makes sense. In retail, everything is measured by $/square foot. If something's not selling, replace it with something that does.

On the other hand, dropping entire areas because competition has you beat (Bass Pro, etc.) would take Walmart out of a lot of business and into being the world's largest "Big Lots".

Take over and then control every area. Sounds like a disease. Walmart is no friend of conservatives.

Not necessarily,if gun-sales just aren't happenening in certain areas of the country,carrying large inventories of same(at stores in those areas) just doesn't make business sense.

Sam wouldn't stock products that no one is buying either. This isn't political. Wal-Mart is still going to sell guns in those stores that actually move the merchandise. It's only ceasing to sell them in the stores where they aren't being sold anyway. It's a waste of retail space if the product sits on the shelf.
