Looks like tha ANTI's are getting through to some companies.
They say it is because of slow sales, but we all know this is BS.

Yahoo Headlines.. Some Wal-Marts to drop Gu

Each town here has there own regulations and some won't allow Walmart to sell guns.  It seems its in all the places were a high crime rate is involving firearms with killings.  I have noticed that in my local walmart its been less and less ammo in stock too.  But up in Maine at the Walmart up there they have everything caliber you can think of in stock.  Thats were i purchased my first 8mm mauser ammo recently (remington soft point).  My local walmart sporting goods manager grumbled at me;  "Thats a military caliber and we don't have it." but i seen 7,62x39 on the shelf at the time too I guess thats not a military caliber? So i haven't purchased a thing at walmart in the sporting goods department for guns since.  I think walmart needs to take a firm stand and they can too were else is everyone going to shop at?  Kmart sucks too even they have nothing in guns or ammo now thanks the rosie odummy.  Sports Authority doesn't have anything any more either like they once had too again thanks to rosie odummy its a division of kfart too.

We don't go to kfart and sports authority too now for many years.  We have to boycott them and every sportsman should like we all did once before and i'm still doing it.

Lets face it in poor high crime areas some don't have cars and they can walk to a local walmart to get ammo for their unregistered/stolen so if they figure they stop the sales of guns and ammo it will hault the crime rate.  If it could only be that easy.  It has to be an MBA who thought of this.  We talking bad guys here not your common good citizen.  I've been poor and being poor doesn't make me a bad person nor anyone who is poor a bad person.  Its just that these are high crime rate areas because of the drug involvement.

I wonder if the main crime weapon was kitchen knives would they stop walmart from selling them too?

If walmart stops selling guns and ammo its all over for us.
