If there's money to be made in selling them, they will continue to do so.

PC "corporate responsibility" trumps profit to a degree these days.

Nobody asked Ebay, Amazon etc to stop selling Confederate flag merchandise, they just arbitrarily decided to lose money to look PC.

If Walmart makes 1-2% of total profit selling guns and ammo, that is an acceptable loss to them to look PC. And stuff like this is remembered when Wal Mart wants state tax brakes, eminent domain properties, free traffic improvements around stores, and the like to open new locations.

Or the government will "nudge" them into doing it by saying "well, it would be a shame if we started looking into how your treat your employees and vendors and accidentally "leaking" any negative information we find to the media".

Since the guy behind the counter hoards the 22lr, won't really matter if they ax it.

they used to make money selling handguns and confederate flags until a bunch of fags complained about both

So the .22lr that's allocated to them will make it to actual gun stores? I can go along with this.

I bet they do. I suspect the revenue is little to none in perspective to their pathetic trash consumer. It would be up to the board and I can see the liability outweighing the trash revenue.
Another retail box stores appearing to be good community stewards in the eyes of their shareholders and the government.
We all know where all this is heading.

Last time I actually bothered to go there all they had was marlin lever actions and model 60's.  This was after they "quit selling firearms" in my locale but changed their mind when enough Fudds complained.  Fuck WM.

Snaggletoof hints at no more of his money being spent at Walmart.

Snaggletoof's wife disapproves.

JP Morgan/Chase disapproves of snaggletoof using the word wife.

Snaggletoof doesn't give a single, solitary fuck about what anyone else wants.

Right now, the entire world can eat a dick like the faggot it is.

Tired of it all. Blow me.

Who cares. You should be buying your ammo online or at a local gun store along with your guns. Why support a company like Walmart?

But will continue to sell prescription drugs like suboxone.

I think it's a pretty good analogy, imperfect but still pretty close.

Guys that is not what he said at all. In fact even when she said "semi autos" he said that has been a big part of out history and we will continue to serve those customers and have a great sporting goods department.

Walmart will always sell guns and ammo.

As they should.  It's their responsibility to make money for the stockholders... they've already gone dangerously out on a limb with the across the board pay raises - that will cut into profit.  If they stop selling firearms and ammo just because of political opinion, WMT will lose a lot of customers, and even more profit.

Good.  Maybe ammo will finally make it to the shelves of the stores where I shop.

It'd be interesting to me to calculate the amount of money I have not spent at walmart cause I never go for .22 anymore. It's probably in the thousands if not more.  I'd go for a couple bricks of .22 and buy 100 dollars worth of other crap.

we get that stuff at other places that are closer now cause I don't need to pikc up the .22 there anymore.

Well, with a huge proportion of the Arfcom users talking about muzzle "breaks"(sic), I suppose a "tax brake"(sic) was just a matter of time.

This. Never set foot in a K-mart after that Bowling for Columbine bullshit (though they more or less disappeared from my area not long after). All I need is a nudge to steer clear from W.W. for good and that would be just the push.

The "age of politicized CEOs and the use (abuse?) of their companies to push agendas.


Aren't most, of not all, those companies taking "political stands" considering themselves apolitical and even fire employees who make political statements on social media?

Don't they have strict HR rules that prohibit that?


Now add this the mix: isn't the IRS being used politically (and illegally) by this current federal administration?


So, now add to the mix that those companies are likely getting tax kickbacks (and their CEOs either) to take "political stances".




Thoughts?
