That's where some of us are hurting. Not enough competition.

These mega corporations are staffed by people who know nothing about this country or our God given rights. Much like today's politicians, these folks are products of the Liberal dumbing down of our society for the past 4 decades and pandering to the leftist media propaganda. We have nobody to blame but ourselves for these outcomes the left has created while the right has remained complacent.

Didn't Dick's do something similar to this? Upon checking I see they pulled firearms/ammo from 125 stores, and apparently are considering doing the same with the rest. I hope they go out of business, but I'm sure they won't.

Actually, I don't even think it is pragmatic. They're sacrificing a part of their business AND getting a bunch of negative PR. It's stupid. Who are the people criticizing Wal-Mart in the first place? People who don't even shop there!!! They're the political elite who have Martha Stewart living rooms decorated with Chanel and Tiffany - not the ones who buy three gallons of milk every week for breakfast cereal.

To me, this is pure stupidity - not pragmatism. Pragmatism would be keeping your head down and just going about your business - ignoring these blowhards.

That was my thought as well. I tried to stay away from Walmart to purchase my ammunition mostly because there was never anyone staffed at the counter when I went anyway!

At least when I go to a firearms retailer they have what I need in stock and are more than happy to serve me.

One more corporation bending the knee to a vocal minority. Wait til they get boycotted like Target and see their profit margins take a hit. It isn't as if there aren't other grocery stores in my area...

In keeping with the topic of Red Flag laws, TacticalSh!t.com came up with a great shirt: https://shop.tacticalshit.com/don-t-f...

I agree with you, but that's not gonna happen in a million years.

All these policies are directly designed to pander to the liberal left, and punish those who have done no wrong. And then they leave those who HAVE done wrong alone, because they know they are only putting band-aids on a fatal wound..., pretending to be deaf, mute and blind, yelling, I hear nothing, I see nothing, I say nothing!

gharkness, very interesting. I don't agree with this policy either. As freedomforall mentioned earlier, I think Sam has been rolling over in his grave.

An armed society is a polite society.

I heard a great idea the other day. In the thought of the "red flag" background checks that is being floated - and with all these people promising "sensible" Federal background checks for firearms...I heard somebody say that if these really will be effective, sensible background checks that if a guy like me (with zero blemishes on his record) gets checked the government should (instead of not allowing him to purchase a gun) allow him to carry a weapon whenever he chooses. He wouldn't have to carry, but it would be an option. Now THAT makes sense to me. Sure, eliminate the guys who have a history of abusing people, mental illness, or road rage. But a guy with zero negatives?...Let him carry if he pleases. What a safe place this would be. Everybody would be much more polite.

The more politically correct Walmart gets, the better ability for local businesses to compete.

I'm glad you brought this up; I had not looked at it this way.

In a similar vein, I just found out yesterday that Walmart has decided to literally take the place of our physicians and tell US what they have decided is best for our medication, overruling our physicians' orders!!

I am absolutely astonished that they have done this....note that this policy was created more than a year ago, but the reason that my husband and I didn't know this is because we are NOT the problem. We simply were trying to fill a pain med prescription which was entirely justified due to a surgery he underwent yesterday. It's been years since we filled a pain Rx at Walmart or anywhere else.

And yet, we, the innocent, suffer, while addicts just keep on somehow getting their drugs.

Thank goodness for CVS. I wish they had a grocery store attached and I'd be completely rid of WalMart in all its forms. (And a note: I have been a staunch supporter of Walmart in my circles, where people complain about all sorts of things like having self-checkout, etc. I believe I have even defended them on the Gulch! That's gonna stop now.)

I come from an area (DFW) where the competition for your grocery dollar is fierce. Not so in Oklahoma. Most grocery stores note Oklahoma's low population and high taxes and say "no, thanks." So, we only have one other grocery store to go to. I'm sure glad they are close, because that's where we will be shopping.

The upside is that this is good news for local gun shops. They are more knowledgeable about the products, too.

Corporate madness.

It is sweeping the country.

Sam rolls over (in his grave) again.
