Walmarts Big announcement

Unless you have to purchase ammo locally, I see no point in it. Buy it online, get great prices, Target Ammo offers free shipping on case lots, no sales tax. No running around. No going into a store. No hauling it out and hauling it out of your vehicle. Take delivery at your doorstep, no fuss no muss.
 
walmart doesnt give two craps about the sales they'll lose from the decision. i'm sure they mathed it out. but the bigger risk to them and their pocketbooks is that they dont do enough to appease the new ESG investor push. if they get grouped with the 'unfavorables' that would be an even bigger hit to market cap etc.

Unlike Dick's, I think they sell enough other stuff that the ammo loss isn't going to be as big a chunk as the pro gun people would have hoped for

I listened to a broadcast by the financial advisor, Dan Celia, this morning. I don't know where he got his information but he said that 20% of there sales was made up of ammunition.

Here is a link to his broadcast this morning. He starts talking about Walmart at 6:50.



Here are some other articles on Mr. Celia's statments:

Very good article/editorial from Tucker Carlson (who I usually consider as projecting insufferable smugness) hitting the WalMart virtue signaling right out of the park! I think he nailed it right on the head and shows the complete perversity of a company that has happily destroyed rural America for decades. Yet this same company, the target of endless attacks and barbs from the uber left (decrying the destruction of their favorite rural pets and the desecration of downtowns and the attacks on unions), can buy their way into the graces of the far left by virtue signaling and attacking the very rural communities that made them the biggest retailer in the world.

They can have their cake and eat it too, as long as they attack the Constitution and keep selling Chinese junk by the shipload, they will silence their communist critics.

Easy way to put the brakes on it... stop shopping there, Rural America. Pay a bit more at your local store. Buy online or better still... instead of plastic lawn ornaments for halloween and shit you don't need paid for with money you don't have.... don't buy stuff! Start that savings account? Spend your money duck hunting? Buy a new American-made rifle or pistol? From your local gun store.

If you don't shop at WalMart, they will go away. Amazing how that works! If you don't shop at virtue-signaling leftist stores that are spending their times lecturing you instead of selling good products and services... they won't lecture you any more. Because they will be broke. You enable them. Stop enabling them.

Cheers,

Sirhr
 
37,000 Americans die from automobiles each year but yet Walmart sell automobile parts, someone should sue Walmart for helping to keep these death machines running as Americans die each and every day.
 
They were definitely the cheapest place to get 9mm and 22lr.. I hated going in there to get ammo though. Felt like I was running through a mine field. On the way out of the store, most people would give you a dirty look if you had ammo in your cart. I actually enjoyed that part of it haha

I am shocked that Walmart ever actually sold any ammo, I was never able to get anyone to come to the ammo area and unlock the sliding doors to ever get any ammo out of the stupid place.

Couple that with the fact that they want to add your drivers license to their database for every ammo purchase and I have not bought ammo at Walmart in a very long time, so no real loss to me.

That said, I will reconsider my options for other purchases.

As for 9mm, you can find brass case at 17 cents per round online all day every day right now, I managed to snag some at 15.5 cents per round (brass case) a few weeks back.

Fuck Walmart, but I am most likely not going to 100% stop shopping there in the short term
 
I think Walmart is somewhat of a filthy place... but how many other stores are there that you can get your clothes, groceries, and guns all under the same roof?
Their clothing is shit. Their grocery selection is limited compared to Kroger. The guns they sell are bottom of the barrel shit, and the optics they sell are even worse.

Fuck that place
 
Interesting YouTube channel titled Guns & Ammo. The specific video is titled The Real Reason Walmart Went Anti Gun. The have joined the Michael Bloomberg group & this YouTube sites the corporate minutes including the page number.
Sorry, this iPad stinks at copy & paste.

I assume they're going to sell their existing stock until it's gone, as they still had quite a bit of handgun ammo on the shelf locally just a couple of days ago.

In south Florida there is none left , I doubt it will affect their bottom line, as much as I'd like it to.
 
They did not stock much good ammo some decent hunting rounds some plinker grade hangun and 223.

Most everything bottom feeder stuff.

I worked in sporting goods there for a while, dissapointing run by corprate dum shits.

Thank god it was a temp gig.
 
LOL. Back to some failed polices from the early 2000s eh? I remember when they removed all guns and ammo from walmart, I believe it was on the advice of some former Clinton fucktard they hired. They eventually got tired of loosing all that money and brought guns and ammo back.
 
I stopped buying ammo at Walmart a decade ago. Not political- just got sick of never being able to find someone to open the ammo cabinet. 20 minutes of walking around, talking to employees, them radioing people who never show for a freaking box of ammo. Online- bring it to my door baby.
 
It's wallmart management at fault for you waiting, the poor worker that was trained and authorized to work that counter is often utilized for crap at the other end of the store and or managment stupidity at not providing coverage for thier breaks.

Won't have to worry about it now.

I have the t shirt.
Filled in a void of the day job.

I dont doubt you for a second. Customer doesnt care why they have to wait or who's fault though......
 
Walmart is the new Dick's.

Walmart needs to be educated about how Dick's deliberate and blatant disrespect toward the American gun owner has affected their bottom line, store closures, etc.

As Walmart attempts to take on Amazon and other Internet marketers, they need to understand that when they deliberately choose to step outside the marketing process and leverage their market share in order to enforce politically driven social justice measures, they are selectively turning their back on large segments of their potential customers. They need only to review Dick's experiences in order to see how negatively that and and will impact their bottom line.

Corporations are not the only entities who back their consciences with concrete action. Their customers do likewise, and as a group, gun owners doubly so. If Walmart banks on gun owner apathy, they back the wrong horse.

I can tell them, categorically, that I'd rather deal with Amazon than Walmart for my Internet purchases. UPS and I are on a first name basis.

Now; Walmart's name will never enter into that conversation.

Corporate investors are not imposing their values upon corporate officers, and therefore, the officers have converted the corporate entities they control into their own personal virtue signalling powerhouses.

They need their collective hands slapped. This economy has provided a historical increase in individual wealth. Individuals can now afford to have some voice in the matter of corporate virtue signalling.

Walmart operates in a sea of competitors. Empower them.

Fight back against socialism and social justice tyranny. Became socially responsible capitalists. Let the boardrooms understand that they don't have all of the control, and that their actions can result in their competitors gaining new investors, as well as better committed customers.

There will always be other sources for the many, many things that Walmart markets. Give them your business; and if appropriate, invest in them, too. Let Walmart know that when they tell us what we may or may not buy, we can tell them to sell us what we want or they'll sell us nothing at all.

Don't just follow the money, manipulate it too.

So Walmart is going to fail because of not selling ammo for some handguns? A company started by a guy in Arkansas who dreamed of bigger things? The All American Dream. I haven’t seen it where I live. No one seems to pay it any mind.
 
There was a day where we all shopped at other places. I remember many chain stores that came and went (WoolWorths is my most missed, loved their $75 AKs)

If Walmart messes up too much, they too will pass and the next big box store will come about


Same thing with sporting good chains, Dick's wasn't always here, and they won't always be here in the future (My most missed here is Sports Authority, they too screwed up by stopping the sale of guns and ammo and poof they disappeared)
