Just months after winning against a Trinity Church lawsuit designed to force Walmart to quit selling AR-15s and “high capacity” magazines, Walmart corporate says it will quit selling AR-15s of its own accord.
Moreover, corporate stresses that the decision is “not political.”

Don't really care.

I care. You may not like Wal Mart but it's another win for the Anti's.

Today it's AR15 and all tactical gear they sell. Tomorrow it's All guns and ammo period.

So what. Buy your AR-15s and tactical gear somewhere else. Your local gun store probably doesn't sell socks and underwear. It's a business decision and it's their prerogative to make that decision. Lots of stores don't sell guns. And who said I don't like Walmart. I shop there frequently. The way I see it so-called pro-gun and pro-freedom people are gonna get their panties all twisted over this and completely forget the fact that freedom also means Walmart has a right to make their own decisions on what they'll sell.

Walmart does a lot of good for a lot of people and they seem to be pretty good to veterans.

No...I don't have a problem with this decision. At all.

I wish they would continue to sell them, it's nice to have lots of options. I don't shop at target because they don't sell ammo and their auto section sucks balls. I like being able to get most everything in the same place.

By the way. It's not just AR's. It's anything that looks, smells, or appears, to be "tactical". To include 18.5" shotguns, 22's that have a tactical "look". Accessories. etc. Yeah, it's a business decision.

I thought this was a buyer Intel thread.

While I understand and agree with BG's points, I'm bummed that Walmart has done this. I think more exposure and normalization to guns is always a good thing, and when a store that has more than 100 million customers stops carrying certain gun stuff, it distances that stuff (like ARs and other tacticool stuff) from the public. Things that are intentionally distanced from the public are eventually ALWAYS considered "bad" by the masses.

They "made the decision to stop selling" them on August 25.
On air execution followed by calls for more gun control on August 26.

[Bailey Guns]

Oh, right...because the anti-gunners are experiencing a shortage of reasons to want to ban guns. Kind of like there's a shortage of conspiracy theories.

Really going out on a limb there by predicting more calls for gun control after the latest shooting. It's only happened after every single high-profile shooting for the last 40 years.
