If there's money to be made in selling them, they will continue to do so.
|
|
I wouldn't notice, the Walmart near me is too trashy to use. Besides, I'm "Target rich"
|
|
And if they don't sell guns and ammo then I wont buy anything else from them either.

Did Obama send them a letter too?
Dear Walmart Please stop selling any and all confederate flags semi automatic evil black rifles. Thanks, XOXOX Barry |

Since the guy behind the counter hoards the 22lr, won't really matter if they ax it.
|
|
View Quote Meh, I only go there to price match ammo anyways, screw em! |
|
|
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.

Well they did stop selling ar15's according to what I've been told.

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. |

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. |

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.
OP needs to change the misleading title. |

REPORTED!! Dick Pic!!! |

I reluctantly tolerate Walmart now because of convenience, if they do this, I will stop shopping there.

The Walmart's in Southeast Michigan have never sold firearms.
Decent deals on ammo sometimes, though. |

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? |
