Nothing in that link provides facts that they were dropped due strictly to low sales numbers. It's all hearsay and conjecture at best. I'm not talking to the causation so much as the outcome in my post anyway.

People want to act like it's a non-story to 2A support and that's simply not the case. People freak out over proposed legislation that has ZERO chance of ever passing or coming into law and yet something like this happens that directly affects the average consumer or, perhaps more importantly, the would-be average consumer and people say good riddance. This community makes no sense to me sometimes and this is one of those. You can hate Walmart with the next guy but like it or not there were plenty of people shopping AR15's and just seeing them in someplace like Walmart helped our cause. When I would watch the Daily Show and Stewart would make a flippant comment about how 'assault rifles could be bought along w/diapers at Walmart' I would get a little warm fuzzy knowing that it infuriated those opposed to 2A and it served to help keep the general populace less inclined to be freaked out when they saw the mythical creature. If they're sold in every grocery store how scary could they be after all?

If you're a supporter of 2A the largest retailer in the world not carrying the flagship of your cause is a big deal no matter how you slice it.
