Wal-Mart to stop selling AR-15, other semi-automatic rifles
Well it looks like the rumors are actually true this time:
Wal-Mart to stop selling AR-15, other semi-automatic rifles
They claim that sales are slow on these types of guns. That may be true, as there are a million and one people selling rifles nowadays, but I suspect they are probably just trying to get out of the gun business. What do you think?

Probably a bit of both. AR's don't sell as well as they used to, and given the pressure to stop selling them, it probably made their decision easy.

Selling firearms is bad for business for a retail department store., especially "assault rifles". I've always been amazed that they ever sold them at all. I'd say this move is overdue.

I had heard about this last weekend and made a trip to the redneck-ist Walmart in my area, figuring they'd have the most stock of 6920s. No joy, or at least, none were on display. The old codger behind the counter was having issues running a credit card of one of the 3 customers waiting, so I decided to move on.
Word was, at least at one of the stores in town, insane deals on DPMS and Colt guns were to be had. Probably not a bad thing I missed it. More money for that ACOG I'll probably inevitably buy.

I thought Walmart vowed to stop selling ARs after Sandy Hook. Did that fall through? I've never seen any ARs at the Wally worlds in my area.

I never shop at Walmart and its good they stop anyway. Drive more customers to the LGS. Instead of them coming in and bitching about cost of items and buying 20 rounds of Prvi.

Cant say I ever go to Wal-Mart for anything of decent quality when it comes to firearms anyway.

During last panic Walmart was the only place local to me that didn't jack up their prices on ammo. My LSGs were charging around $80 per 100 rounds of 5.56. To me the loss of competition is almost never good for prices.
My local Walmarts sold Colt, Remington and other decent rifles. Maybe just a plus of being in the south.
