Wal-Mart Suspends Future Ammo Shipments

Wal-Mart has temporarily discontinued ammunition sales pending “the upcoming decision on the Second Amendment.” The decision by Wal-Mart’s corporate office to discontinue future arms sales is most likely in light of expected anticipated gun control recommendations made to Congress, and uncertainty about the legality of certain guns in the near future.
A Wal-Mart customer was in the office as an unwitting employee called their headquarters about his store’s shortage, only to receive the following response.
“As of right now we are unsure of what new legislation might be coming, and because of this, we are suspending new orders. We will continue to sell what is already in stock in stores and at our distribution centers, but any new orders will not be shipped until the issue is resolved”.
In keeping with its characteristic tight savings and sales techniques, the decreasing stock of ammunition at Wal-Mart has caused prices to increase.  One customer reports a 60-cent increase on all types of ammo still available at the store.
Wal-Mart’s temporary discontinuation of ammunition is certainly good news for anti-gun activists such as forcechange.com and Michael Moore.  The former individually targeted Wal-Mart’s CEO Michael Duke with a letter writing campaign while the latter investigated the superstore’s lax ammo buying regulations in his documentary “Bowling for Columbine.”

Walmart Urged To Stop Selling Assault Rifles

Walmart Urged To Stop Selling Assault Rifles By More Than 85,000

More than 85,000 people are asking Walmart to stop selling assault weapons in the wake of the Connecticut shooting that killed 26 people last month.
The petition, on action.SomeOfUs.org, urges Walmart to stop selling the Bushmaster AR-15 -- the high-powered rifle linked to the Newtown shooting -- as well other assault weapons. Walmart pulled the listing Bushmaster Patrolman's Carbine M4A3 Rifle from its webstore very shortly after the Sandy Hook shooting, but the company still sold similar rifles in 1,200 of its stores as of December 19, according to Bloomberg.
Walmart is the largest seller of guns and ammunition in the country, according to the Wall Street Journal. The retailer didn't immediately return a request for comment from The Huffington Post.
Walmart brought guns back to almost half of its stores in 2011, the WSJ reported at the time, after the chain pulled them from its shelves in all but a third of its stores in 2006. Bloomberg reported five days after the Newtown shooting that assault rifles appeared to be out of stock at Walmart stores in five states.
Walmart isn’t the only place where enthusiasts are going to buy guns; sales across the country have surged in the wake of the Connecticut shooting as gun users race to stock up. Background checks for guns jumped to a record number in December, according to FBI data. (It’s common for gun sales to increase after mass shootings, as enthusiasts race to buy them for self-defense or out of concern that lawmakers will put stricter gun controls in place.)
Still, the Sandy Hook massacre prompted some retailers to pull some of their gun offerings. Dick’s Sporting Goods halted the sale of semi-automatic rifles four days after the shooting “out of respect for the victims and their families.”
