Here in the states of Nebraska and Iowa,The only 2 Walmarts you can buy guns at is in Council Bluffs,Ia. and Fremont,Ne. the others have pulled their guns out,Why???   sounds like company politics,or the Brady Campaign.    Rich Ziemies,Omaha,Ne.

As much as we'd like to think this is some big corporate plot, I think it is much simpler than that. Walmart worships the all mighty dollar and if a product isn't bringing in enough revenue they're going to get rid of it.

This goes back to the fact that people don't shoot like they use to and we need to bring in more new shooters. Those of use who do shoot probably use more ammo than most did in the past but how many guns can you really buy from a place like Walmart over the course of a year?

I have to agree when it comes to Wal-Mart and the search for the all mighty dollar.  If you think about it is a double edged sword, most of us won't buy our large purchases (firearms) from Wal-Mart because we want to support our local gun shop, but at the same time will visiting wallyworld for cleaning supplies, ammunition, targets and a lot of those small dollar items that for us gun nuts really are part of our grocery list when visiting wallyworld.  As for that, the guns will continue to move out walla walla land and prices will keep going up at the local stores.  But, what is the alternative, letting Wal-Mart control the availability of firearms. 

Although this may be good alternative, in the case when people really need them you can be sure Wal-Mart would have a 24 hour sell-a-thon in order to make their investors fat, rich and happy. 

I can just imagine that footnote on their 10K now.  Our spike in sales during the month of X was caused by the Democrats taking office and threatening to restrict future purchases of firearms, as such we could not keep enough product on our shelves thus resulting in our acquisition of Winchester, Kimber, and a few other well known firearms manufacturers in order to better control distribution channels.  We further have worked out a deal, with the party in office, where a similar scare will be advertised mid-June every year, conveniently our slowest month.  We expect to see a 15% gain in our firearms sales over the next 12 months....

What to do, What to do?

Yep,  I got my Marlin Camp 9 Carbine there -- while living in Chattanooga.  I still have the rifle, though I can't remember the last time it was fired...  Probably not in 15 years or so...
