Entirely too idealistic. I would love to say I won't buy from Walmart, but MY pocket book will suffer because I have to spend 20% more from Albertson's or spend a little bit more for terrible product options at Aldi. Thanks, but no thanks.

The reality is that Walmart is a business. They can sell what they want to sell and if you want something they don't sell, you go elsewhere. The vast majority of the items I want on a daily basis is at Walmart and IS cheaper than everyone around me (Albertson's, Target, or Aldi).

I called the "real" corporate office number 479 273 4000 and talked to a live person. Due to the high volume of calls on the issue they try and route you to a website to air your complaint. Pretty easy way out.

At any rate, I honestly was going to buy a new flat screen from today and a few things from Sams. I realize I am just one small guy but screw them, I will go elsewhere for the TV and as my Sam's club membership needs renewed I will go to Costco. This is getting ridiculous

Somewhere Sam Walton is spinning in his grave.

it may be true, but to report on what some blog writer says who admits he can not back it up with any sources is silly.

silly for the news sites, not the OP

Then how would you explain this? It's not faked I don't think, it's the same prompts I got.

I rarely do things like this and as convienent as Walmart is for me, I agree I'm not going to buy anything from Walmart until they reverse this.

So let me get this straight... yall want to boycott these guys because they are making a business decision to hold off on buying ammo because they do not want to be stuck with a bunch of stock left over when obama bans it or makes it very difficult to sell?


I dont know what walmart does, but I can promise you they are doing this to help make sure they make money... has nothing to do with not wanting to sell ammo.

I bought 2 box's of 45 Long Colts and two boxs of 22 Mags, they didn't have any 223's or 308's on the shelf but he said they'd be in by Wednesday.

So do they believe O is going to ban ALL ammo? Ammo has not even been mentioned hardly, it's been clips(magazines to anybody with a brain), AW's and grenade launchers.

They are knee jerking

I'm not buying this at all. This sounds like a viral internet rumor perpetuated by a bunch of frustrated and frightened gun owners looking for an explanation for walmart's empty shelves.

I was in walmart getting ammo about two weeks ago, had a very similar conversation with the clerk there, except it was minus the paranoia. What she told me was they weren't being able to order what they want because the distributors up the chain were all backed up. The mothership was getting everything they could get their hands on and parceling it out to the different stores as best they could.

Before we all panic, has this story been corroborated by any WM higher-ups? Has it been covered by any major news organizations?

Take a deep breath. It's going to be ok.

My local Walmart had signs on the gun case saying

"We have no 223, 9mm, 22LR, or AR15 Type Weapons and due to circumstances beyond our control cannot forecast when these items will be available again"

Said nothing of not being ordered, still had some .40, .17HMR, and plenty of shotgun ammo.

Maybe Walmart should be calling the White House and Congress and screaming their lungs out at them about the nonsense legislation they are considering.

You think that's happening? Nah...me neither.

If this is true it won't be out of moral obligation it is out of fear of getting stuck with inventory if an EO is issued. Makes you wonder what was said at that meeting last week with Gomer Biden...


I go to Bone Daddy's for the burgers....yeah, that's why.

Went to walmart this morning. Plenty of 308, 7.62x39, 9mm, 40 cal. N0 .22 or .223. I asked the lady in the bsck about the rumor. Take it for whats its worth but she was told Walmart is trying to be pushed out of the ammo and gun business. She didnt say by who but I guess you can use your imagination. I know this is just another rumor but it is what it is.

They have also implemented a 3 box maximun per upc.
