Interesting commie perspective from the NYT. Discusses where the commies are headed next on this front.
Walmart stopping ammo sales
“Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance.”
I just sent this to Walmart's customer service email (service@walmartcontacts.com) AND the CEO (doug.mcmillon@walmart.com).
------------------------------------
I am writing as a LONG time customer going back to when you were only in Arkansas (my original home state).
I am asking you to reconsider your decision to halt ammunition sales. I have purchased a LOT of ammo at your stores over the years. I am a law-abiding, productive citizen who enjoys firearms as a hobby. I also believe in my right to self-defense and my Rights (all of them) as enumerated in the Bill of Rights.
My local Walmart was a great place to buy my practice ammo, because the prices and selection were good.
Halting the sale of ammo at Walmart will, of course, do nothing to curb CRIMINAL activity. It will only serve to punish law-abiding customers like me. LIFE-LONG customers like me.
Whenever I need something (clothing, car oil / filter, groceries, cleaning supplies, etc), I'd go to Walmart... and while I'm there, pick up some ammo. It's really the ammo I come for, if I'm honest. I can buy all the other stuff elsewhere. But, there's only one place I can go get stuff for the house (honey-do list) AND sneak in some ammo for me! Walmart.
If I can no longer buy ammo at Walmart, the incentive for me to go there for the honey-do list is gone. I'll be honest... Target is closer to my house. They don't have ammo. I drive FARTHER to Walmart, so I can replenish my ammo supply. If that's gone, I'll be going to Target, instead for household sundries.
I understand the urge to be "PC" and virtue-signal in these turbulent political times. But, I am asking you to reconsider this decision which only punishes your loyal law-abiding gun-owning customers.
Thank you.
------------------------------------
Will they change because of MY email? No. But, if they get 100,000+ emails just like it, they MAYY reconsider. The bottom line is the bottom line. Gillette lost nearly $1B because of the fallout resulting from the "toxic masculinity" ad. They pulled the ad.
I would encourage everyone to send Walmart an email. Many have told me they want to use my letter as a template with modifications... fine by me!

Doesn't affect Florida, but Kroger jumped aboard, now banning OC even though lawful.

Don't be cheapskates. If you want to buy ammo go to a gun store. They'll stay on your side whatever happens.

I don't agree, with all due respect.
The gun shops are increasing their prices as we speak...now that Walyworld is going PC.
BTW, that is a very well written email...to the point and what every freedom loving American is thinking.

Myself and many others stated long ago It would be a major effort to take our weapons.
On the other hand all of us agreed they would make it difficult or impossible to buy ammo as a first step.
The camels nose is now under the tent I'm afraid.
The shit sandwich has now been served !
Buy it cheap, stack it deep and learn to reload.

Walmart only cares about not getting sued in the future.
I just saved about $6/box of .30-30 Win (including shipping) by buying at SGAmmo & not Walmart. Let 'em be Dicks, I have no other reason to shop at Walmart So... bye.

WALMART “PARTNERS” WITH EVERYTOWN FOR GUN SAFETY AND MICHAEL BLOOMBERG TO ADVANCE GUN BAN AGENDA
https://tennesseefirearms.com/2019/09/w ... an-agenda/
Tennessee Firearms Association wants to make sure all gun owners and all 600,000+ handgun permit holders in Tennessee are aware of Walmart’s increasing anti-gun stance on your capacity to exercise the right to keep and bear arms which is protected by the United States Constitution.
Even worse – if that is possible – all gun owners should know that WalMart has openly stated that it is now in “partnership” on gun control issues with Everytown for Gun Safety which appears to be one of Michael Bloomberg’s “shell” gun control entities that pushes for sweeping gun bans and Red Flag laws!
At one time, Walmart was seen as a truly “American” store that had no hesitation in supporting your Second Amendment rights. That seems to have eroded as Walmart increasingly adopts policies designed specifically to make it harder for Americans to purchase firearms, to purchase ammunition, to purchase firearms accessories, and even to carry in its stores.
Walmart now proudly proclaims on its own website that it is a “charter member” of the “Responsible Firearms Retailer Partnership” which was co-formed by WalMart, “Everytown for Gun Safety” and Michael Bloomberg’s “Mayors Against Illegal Guns” See, https://corporate.walmart.com/policies
WalMart knows or should know that “Everytown for Gun Safety is an American nonprofit organization which advocates for gun control and against gun violence. Everytown was founded in 2006, combining Mayors Against Illegal Guns and Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America. Everytown for Gun Safety is largely financed by Michael Bloomberg, who also founded the group.” See, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everytown_for_Gun_Safety Evertown for Gun Safety is supporting gun control, gun bans, and Red Flag laws across the nation.
So, what is WalMart telling Americans? It is saying it is now in partnership with the gun control fanatic – Michael Bloomberg – and the various corporate shells that he apparently creates to hide his participation in the gun control and gun abatement movement from the public.
WalMart announced on September 3, 2019, an expansion of its anti-gun policies that it has apparently partnered with Michael Bloomberg’s corporate shells to fashion and continuously evolve in an effort to make it harder for Americans to own firearms and acquire ammunition.
WalMart policies largely ban many sporting rifles from being sold in its stores including the immensely popular AR15 and AK47 sporting semi-automatics. WalMart is discontinuing the sale of handguns entirely. It is discontinuing the sale of “high capacity” magazines and certain firearms accessories. It is prohibiting its online retailers from offering these items. It has raised the age to purchase firearms and ammunition in its stores to age 21. It does not sale on a “conditional proceed” background check even though state and federal law allows it. It has already done several of these things.
As of September 3, 2019, it has also announced the following policies which sound not surprisingly to be right out of Everytown and Michael Bloomberg’s likely playbook of ‘how to destroy a constitutional right.’ These policy additions now include:
WalMart will no longer sell handgun ammunition at all
WalMart will no longer sell ammunition for “short-barrel” rifles including ammunition in calibers.223 and 5.56.
WalMart will no longer sell ammunition such as .300 Blackout, 7.62×39 and .224 Valkyrie.
WalMart no longer wants citizens who can legally carry in the respective states to carry in their stores if they carry openly.
Tennessee Firearms Association urges gun owners in Tennessee and elsewhere to seriously consider whether your retail dollars should be spent to the profit of WalMart’s increasing gun control agenda and its partnership with individuals and organizations that promote gun control, gun bans, and Red Flag laws. Citizens can and should avoid shopping at retail merchants who openly adopt policies that are knowingly implemented to impair the full and free exercise of rights – real rights – that are actually contained in and protected by the state and federal constitutions.

Here is a short E-mail I just shot off to corporate, probably wont do anything buy worth a try....
Dear sirs,
I am disappointed with your recent decision to discontinue handgun and semi automatic rifle ammunition at your stores. I think we can both agree that there are steps that can be used to help prevent gun violence that do not impeded on the rights of law abiding citizens. This knee jerk reaction to recent events committed buy sick individuals was not one of those ways. As a longtime customer of Wal-Mart I unfortunately can no longer shop in your stores as a result of your decision to not support my right to purchase articles I would use help defend myself and my family. I can also not support a company that does not recognize my constitutionally protected second amendment right. I sincerely hope that Wal-Mart reconsiders this poorly made decision.
