Wmt stock doesn't usually do well, until may or so of last year it never budged it was always around 55-62$. People aren't going to start buying more from Walmart just because they stopped selling guns and ammo - especially the people that shop at Walmart.

How did you get that from my post?

My point is Walmart makes money. That's what they do. This is just one more decision to them. Socks. Ammo. Justin Timberlake posters. It's all about how much profit they'll make.

The wal mart in the town I lived previously didn't sale ammo or guns. Don't know why I never asked.

I agree with you. I must have misconstrued your post.

It was common during the first panic buying spree because of Obama's first election for local gunshops to go to buy ammo at Walmarts (clean them out) and resale it two to three times as much in their store. I am all for supporting mom & pop but not to the point of being stupid with my money.

That's their ticket here..control the bullets and you control the guns.
You have the right to bear arms but the constitution didn't say anything about being able to shoot with those arms.
But guys like you and bulldog and others here are smart enough to load your own. Maybe this would be a good thing, weed out the amatures.

Why, most LGS are known for their terrible service and ripoff prices. I know quite a few that buy ammo at WalMart or online than mark it up and place it on their shelves.

Nope that would be classism and the illegal ammo trade would sky rocket.

Think prohibition.

I reload to keep costs down. During the 1980's and 90's I didn't need to because the cost benefit wasnt high enough.

I bought buckets and buckets of .223 and 308 ammo at gun shows in the 1990's for a fraction of what they go for now.

Or know a person that reloads and buy off them thus bypassing any Obama law trying to follow ammo sales. The Kennedy's got rich off bootlegging, maybe the next family dynasty will off ammo.
