UPDATE: CNS NEWS PULLED THEIR STORY ON THIS REPORT. NOT SURE WHY SINCE THEY DIDN’T EXPLAIN HOWEVER YOU SHOULD TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERING WHEN READING THIS REPORT.

This is the problem when we get these idiots in office to start demagoguing about gun control when it doesn’t even address the problem. Now Walmart, reportedly, has stopped making ammo orders over the pending gun control decision which means there’s a whole market of ammo out there that just lost a huge buyer. If they don’t make a decision soon, I wonder how many jobs will be lost.

CNS NEWS – WalMart reportedly has stopped selling ammunition ahead of the Obama administration’s anticipated gun control recommendations to Congress — and uncertainty over what new laws may be coming.

According to the Investment Watch blog, WalMart Corporation will no longer place new ammunition orders pending “the upcoming decision on the Second Amendment.”

A customer stood with a WalMart employee as a call was made to the corporate office.

WalMart headquarters told the employee the following:

“As of right now WalMart is not going to be making any new orders of ammo because of the upcoming decision on the Second Amendment. As of right now we are unsure of what new legislation might be coming, and because of this, we are suspending new orders.

“We will continue to sell what is already in stock in stores and at our distribution centers, but any new orders will not be shipped until the issue is resolved.”

get this crap into congress for a vote so we can move on. the fear is worse than the medicine. this craziness didnt exist when clinton got his bans. the new laws , if any, will not be as restrictive as clinton's were.

I will no longer purchase anything from Walmart until Pistol and AR ammo stock is reordered. I will buy from online and shop for the rest of my goods from Meijers. All 300 million law abiding gun owners should stop shopping at Walmart. Crap is all from China anyway lol.

Wal-Mart in Sierra Vista AZ is selling ammo.

Stocks are low in 308 and there was no 9, 40 or 357Sig.

Shipments are still coming so the clerk says in but in dribs and drabs.

Carrot or stick? The pResident only gives carrots to low-info voters and low-character supporters in and out of the White House. Also, he just doesn't doo carrots very well. And finally, Walmart's response reads like a response to a stick, or a whiny threat of one.

I have resolved to stay out of Walmart until they resolve to quit backing Obama's plan to change the Second Amendment with an 'Executive Order' which is illegal and stock ammo again.

Perhaps we should take a minute and notice that it says "reportedly".. and provides zero proof. Walmart has denied this is true. This is peak hunting season and add to that the huge number of people lining up to buy guns and ammo and it's far more likely it's a backlog than anything else. Let's find out if this is true, or just based on a leftist blog called InvestmentWatch. We know how much the left hates Walmart.

This story is false. Walmart is not ordering ammo becuase supply is tight. Still recieving ammo and selling ammo. Just can't order specific ammo because they can't say how long it will take to get the ammo in stock.

Yes many Walmarts are sold out......because people are buying the ammo as soon as it comes in. Check your local Walmarts everynight when the trucks are unloaded. Everynight....... Demand is higher, supply is strained. Walmart would not stop selling something that is selling. To Walmart cash is king, politics is just words.

yeah right

BOYCOTT WALLMART! It is about time Americans make wallmart realize how they better do what "we the people" want, not the sock-puppet for freedom hating political hacks!

BOYCOTT NOW, TAKE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY ELSE WHERE, MAKE WALLMART HURT FOR A CHANGE!

Wallmart better apologize and have a daily firearm & ammo give away each day until Obama & Biden make up some foolish tyrannical new law!

Well, I can't blame WalMart, they don't want to get stuck with a mega order of ammo they can't unload.

Walmart folds once again to this president. When his wife was peddling her food thing some Walmart stores moved candy further away from the front door. They have started moving it back closer to the door recently in some stores. I guess they make the deals on these things to keep the union thugs out. It is discouraging when these corporations engage in this garbage with the government, but the misery the government can bring down on any business through harrassment and excessive regs is terrible. Our goverment is not much better than the mafia.

Something smells here. I suspect a political issue here with Walmart, not a financial one. Be careful with Walmart, folks. They play politics easily - that corporation publicly supported Obamacare and its passage. I will never forget that.

I know this is off topic.....but Ruger has a "take action" page to send a message to our representatives that gun owners take their gun rights seriously and wont stand idly by as the "progressives" seek to cripple the 2nd amendment.

Please help.

This is rediculous and I am sure Sam Walton is turning over in his grave. He would never give in to Government and their trying to shred the Constitution. His children are idiots if they give in to this. Order the ammo and be prepared when we really need it to stop the dictator Obama. Don't be fearful of them, they should be fearful of us. Get that straight. WE THE PEOPLE have more power than Washington has. Come on Walmart, stop drinking the Obama koolaid and order ammo for your loyal customers. We gonna need it and you should know that.

I am not sure I believe this story. No source named with authority on such matters.

It would make more sense for Walmart to take advantage of the gun and ammo buying frenzy and double down on orders rather than suspending orders. After all, they are in business to make money.

Doesn't matter.I buy mine at my local outdoor sporting store.Locally owned and operated.

Me too. The last place I would purchase anything like this would be at Walmart. I would rather support the locally owned business that specializes in weapons and ammo.

Yup.I give as much of my business as possible to all the locally owned and operated businesses as I can for all of my purchases whether it be guns and ammo or any other products.No shortage of ammo at my local gun store.

Dang it... this story is going everywhere based on no evidence. The CNS story uses "reportedly", and says they got the story from a blog, and that the blog had not provided any link to any Walmart statement. Also, I listened to the audio provided, all that said was that Walmart will be "reviewing their policy" once any new legislation is passed..

I want to be clear, do I believe it's possible that Walmart made some back room deal with this admin.. YES... do I think this story, that they have stopped selling ammo, is true. NO, because you can go to Walmart today and if there is any ammo on the shelves, which there is at my local Walmart, they will sell it to you. Do I believe they have stopped ordering some types of ammo for now based on the agreement reached with the wh?? Entirely possible. But I don't believe that they will suspend sales of all types of ammo. Time will tell what the details of their back room deal were.

I don't know guns as well as you, Mike, but I'd guess it's a Desert Eagle .44 Magnum, with extended mag. Just a guess. :)

Correct, I can't be sure of the caliber though. I suspect it's a .50 cal.

That was my point to her, exactly. I asked her to ask one of her serving family members what some of their "pet" names for Marines were. I told her she'd be shocked at the foul names.

And I'm proud of every single one of them.
