Realistically nobody cares about OC. However, going "we not selling this, cuz virtue signaling bullshit" is going to go over like someone taking a dump on the altar at church...

Except the shops that would buy it there, mark it up, and put it on their shelves.
Id believe it if it’s talking retail (in store) sales. If it includes online sales, it seems suspect.

Can someone post the article please? I'm not turning off my ad-blocking software to read a one-off article. I hate Business Insider, and other sites like them where I can't keep my privacy to read an article. Thanks in advance.

What makes me wonder, with all this talk of semiautomatic rifles being the defacto evil and all, is what made them decide to stop selling handgun ammo? A lot of the antis that say "ban weapons of war" even say, don't worry, we dont want to ban handguns and shotguns (even though that's a load of bull too).
Is it possible that Walmart has been the place where one or more of these most recent "mass shooters" purchased their ammo? Perhaps this is true and hasn't come into public view yet, and WM is trying to distance themselves as far and as quick as possible?

I would believe it, given that most mid level distributors rape their dealers on ammunition, which causes LGSes to (usually) have
overpriced ammo. This drives a lot of people to walmart- they usually compete slightly above market floor with bulk mail/internet vendors, at least with regards to things like 9/40/45.... rifle ammo, usually they're not as competitive on.
There are rumors that ammo plants practially have a dedicated dock and loading door for walmart trucks.

sooooo, I'm the type of person to say at a funeral, "well his not going to need that suit anymore" are they selling what stock they have off clearance?
Ammo hoarders, certain gun store and gun show vendors aren't going to be thrilled about this.
Back when there were boughts of panic buying, there were rumors/stories of shops that had information from WalMart employees
about when an ammo shipment was due in so they could show up when the doors opened, and clear the shelves.
When they put it on their own shelves, some of them didn't even bother with removing the WalMart price sticker, they just covered
it up with their own.

What are they going to do? Have the Greeter jump ugly on you?
Not going to effect the manufacturers, they'll just be sending their product to a different address. The demand for ammo isn't changing, just who's selling it.
I'll bet the manufacturers actually see an increase in demand with people stacking it deep in fear of more government oppression.
I don't think I've bought ammo at a Walmart in about 16 years so no loss here.

They aren't going to gain any sales by this virtue signaling. But they sure as Hell are going to lose sales.

That and the "Call list"
Hey buddy we got some ammo coming in tomorrow.
I'll stash it in the back till you get there.
I know it's the case because someone I know was getting his that way.
He had an "In" with the guy working the counter.
Haven't bought a single box of ammo there since the last panic shit show and I'm doing just fine.
Adapt and overcome.
I haven't seen .22LR boolits at the Concord, NH Wally world in years. The only thing I've bought there in over 10 years is my meds. Even then, every time I leave the store, I feel like I need to do this.

Walmart ends all handgun ammunition sales and asks customers not to carry guns into stores - CNN
I have handguns that shoot .22, .22 mag, 9mm, .38, .357 mag .44 and .44 mag. I have rifles that shoot the same.
What is handgun ammo?

I'm trying to think if I ever bought ammo from Walmart but nothing's coming to mind. I reload most of my handgun ammo and any rifle ammo or 22 long rifle I usually buy in bulk online, so Walmart doesn't mean shit to me.
