“Want to get edgy and randomly argue with Nazis? Head over to X/Twitter (or whatever Elon’s calling it when you read this).”

I suggest the author do at least a minimum of research before publishing such obviously blatant anti-X(or Elon Musk) bias as the change is well-documented.

The quoted post is creative fiction styled after “The Twilight Zone” but not the reality I’ve experienced at any local Walmart; I can get service in the sporting goods department whenever I want whether or not an employee is already present. I can, however, reliably find it between toys and automotive.

Got curious once and searched for Wallworld Board of Directors.
It is filled w/ woke muggles that are blood prodigy of Sam I Am, founder of Wallyworld, He who would help bring the World of Chinesium into the American household like a tsunami. Board members are mostly under 45yrs old, primarily liberal Demorats, and unabashedly & extremely wealthy. They also don’t give a rats patoohey about American values or morality (do those even exist anymore?), but are business savvy enough to know how to use marketing to their advantage. All they want is your money. And your neighbors’ $$ also.

Yep. Went into town to add to the selection of 357 testing ammo, and the wife wanted to swing by Walmart for something. She grabbed a cart, and headed for the back corner, way opposite of where her stuff was. “Why you going that way?” “Sporting goods. You can see what they have while we’re here.” “Ok, you’ll get some extra steps in so won’t be a total waste.” “What?” “You’ll see.” ….. “Well, do they have any 357?” “No, haven’t for a few years now.” “Why didn’t you tell me?” “You wouldn’t have believed me. You’re a visual learner.” “I’ll learn you. Picture the pots & pans aisle. I want to try a new skillet.”

After that fiasco, we went to Dunham’s, where they’ve quietly brought back some stuff. They had a few different 38s and 357s on sale, so I snagged some plus another brick of 22 for cheap.

In reply to Sam I Am. Maybe. Why do they bother with their limited supply of mostly Fudd stock? Is it that profitable for them? Or do they actually worry about a backlash if they drop everything? Like I said, they still sell ammo for an AR-10.

Doesn’t this posting tell us that “gun people” (i. e. 2A defenders) do not constitute so significant a slice of Walmart’s money stream as to protect the corporate income stream? That is, “gun people” are not numerous enough to cause Walmart to consider their interests and choices? Or is it that Walmart people will remain Walmart people for all the other items, regardless of elimination of “gun people” items?

Walmart is so financially strong, that there will never be a “Bud Lite” moment, and Walmart knows it.

In reply to Dude. Dude you had better luck than I did for when I went to get some of the ammo a good fellow walked in front of me to the counter and he bought a lot of what I would have purchased. Oh well, if only I had been a minute earlier.

The article is greatly more informative than anything Comrade Kamala spews out in her word salads of stupid and distraction and hypocrisy and lies.

This was a disappointing article to read in Shooting News Weekly. Surely this space could have been used more productively. The writer apparently thinks that Walmart gun counters are indicative of a larger problem in the gun world, but throws in so much absurd, teenage nonsense that he barely was able to squeeze in his point, and that none too well. SNW, you can do better. Two thumbs down.

I happened to see the announcement fairly quickly on that other site that Walmart would stop selling pistol and scary rifle ammo. I immediately headed down there to stock up on cheap ammo one last time. I was first in line. By the time he was ringing me up, a long line had formed behind me. The funny thing about them getting rid of the “scary” ammo is that they still sell .308. When I check their stocks, I never see anyone working there. Did they ever? Was it all a dream?
