This is scary

Post by Hoss74 » Mon Jan 14, 2013 2:14 pm

Walmart met with Biden last week regarding future proposals for gun control. They were invited there because of their high sales in firearms and ammo. When I found this out I called the home office and explained the only reason I have to shop there is ammo though I normally end up buying other things. If they cave to Biden though I won't shop there. I have better things to do than spend 30 minutes waiting to buy one thing.
Today Walmart announced they are suspending ALL orders for ammo.
All????
I could see. .223, but shotgun, .38, .45, 9mm, .22???

Tells me the obummer administration's gun control plans extend far beyond assault rifles

dropped another $400 on bullets alone at harbor reloading. he still has 9mm,45,223,7.63x39 etc. but wouldn't wait too much longer. and no I'm not a hoarder. trying to keep enough supplies for #300 rounds per caliber/gun.

WalMart is one of, if not THE largest seller of guns and ammunition in the U.S.
I find it hard to believe they'd stand idly by for this one.
Do you have a link to any reputable source for this news?

Calling illegal aliens “undocumented workers” is like calling drug dealers “unlicensed pharmacists”…

An armed man is a citizen. An unarmed man is a subject.

I may pay more but if Walmart does this, Publix will benefit.

There is a whole bunch more with greater claims, but this one was fair and balanced. ...lol

Still, you think they have inside info to suspend ALL ammo orders including common non rifle ammo?

The only "reliable" / "credible" source listed is the LA Times and it doesn't even say anything about this.
So you guys are panicking because SOME folks are suggesting that
Walmart chose not to tell the media...
Walmart chose not to release the news on its corporate website...
Walmart chose not even to inform Remington, Federal, etc. that it was canceling their receivables / renewable contracts...
But instead opted to inform only one or two of the people in its customer service call center and one guy who recorded the call for his blog?
Sorry, I'm not buying it until I get it as "real" news, and if you guys took the time to think about it you wouldn't either.

Noone on this thread says it's official. Rumor is spreading like wildfire all over the places that I read. No need for you to jump to conclusions

maybe we are all wrong and the sky isn't falling, but wait another 1-3 months and see what types of ammo you can get and what it's gonna cost you. either way the price I'm afraid is up to stay and may get worse. don't be left shooting blanks.

No matter what ends up happening Obama is going to do whatever he can within his Executive powers to "limit and regulate" guns and ammo. I see a 30-40% tax on ammo coming. Stock up boys!
